Just this April, his right foot up to 4 inches below the knee was amputated. And because of his diabetes, the wound takes time to heal and until now, the wound is still fresh. I always dress my dad's wound, I always give him his insulin almost 3 times a day and monitor his daily diet and also his sugar level. Still, we always had a hard time giving my dad lectures because his stubbornness will sometimes kick in. Yes, it's really difficult.
Then you would think the saying: "regret always comes at the end" is right. We didn't lack in giving my dad advice, it was his choice, and the consequence was there.
I want to tell everyone to be health conscious. Diabetes strikes everybody. Not just because you're young and strong doesn't mean you can't have diabetes. Diabetes is one of the rapidly growing illnesses in the Philippines.
Take my word for it.
