We have a history of diabetes. I think I already mentioned that before in my previous posts. My father passed away with a diabetic complications, my uncle also suffers from the same sickness, which is, according to his doctor, a lifetime illness. For him to control his blood sugar, I bought some ampalaya capsules and my aunt cooks tortang ampalaya almost always.
In my case, of course, I don't want to be diabetic. Nobody wants to get that condition, so I am asking same old question to myself: How can I be healthier?
I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus or GDM last year and my doctor told me that there is a possibility for me to get the same disease in the future if I can't control my diet and exercise to maintain a normal blood sugar level. I used to be very slim, though. Not anorexic, but just very slim, until my late years in college. I only gained weight when I started working. After giving birth to my adorable Aşkım, I just want to be in a healthy shape through proper diet and exercise. I learned eating according to my blood type, balancing my diet, and watching my calorie intake though.
