Did you know that November 14th was world diabetes day and did you know that 1 in 5 Filipinos are diabetic or pre- diabetic. This is a sad fact that I see everyday and It seems like everyone I know has someone close to them that is diabetic. Diabetes is something I dealt with up close and personal.
Almost 2 years ago I lost my father in-law to diabetes related complications and I really saw how horrible it can be and I realized that health is wealth. After my father in-law passed away I really pushed my husband to get checked to see if he was also diabetic since a lot of the time diabetes is genetic. Thankfully his tests were all negative but he still made the decision to watch what he eats, especially pork and beef. When I was pregnant I also took a diabetes test because gestational diabetes is very common and can lead to tons of complications during pregnancy but luckily I passed the test, I think it helped that I don’t eat meat and I went to all my doctors appointments. My point is, diabetes is super common and can be super scary but if you catch it early and control it with medications and lifestyle changes you can like a normal healthy life.
If you’re looking for a place to get a full diabetes exam I recommend LH Prime Medical Clinic, they have many clinics around Cebu and they have friendly staff that can assist you with whatever you need, not to mention their prices are very affordable.
