Let Me Share This Short Story Of A Diabetes Survivor

My name is Gerald Onuoha, I’m a pharmacist. As such, I would have been very sure I knew it all when it came to diabetes from the diagnosis to managing diabetes. But in my case, It was my wife who recognized the symptoms. I was fatigued and always thirsty, I was also gaining weight consistently which was obviously a later consequence of uncontrolled diabetes. Well, its safe to say people in my field like to feel like they know it all, I mean we do but definitely not all the time especially when it comes to our own health. I wasn’t one to really indulge in regular check ups because as far as I was concerned I lived healthy in my diets and little exercises my age would let me carry out. Finally decided to go for a check up as my wife kept insisting. This time a full HBA1C blood test was arranged which came back as 11.1%. I was type 2 diabetic. This was 2009.
The diagnosis was not unusual, as the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes increases after the age of 45 and like many people with this condition, I have a family history of diabetes, “I lost my father to complications of type 2 diabetes about 10 years ago. After his diagnosis, he later developed hypertension five years after. Despite efforts, he developed kidney problems and survived partial stroke at the age of 68 and years later succumbed to kidney failure. That this might be my fate terrified me. Following the diagnosis, in addition to my diet and exercise plan I began taking oral medication to help manage the diabetes. The oral medication worked for the first few years, but over time, it became less effective. Notably as about five to 10 percent of people with type 2 diabetes stop responding to their medication every year. After about seven years, I started going to an endocrinologist whom introduced 1nsulin to my medication, until I was strictly on an 1nsulin regime. Now taking this highly synthesized medications like 1nsulin and other oral medications had their side effects which manifested after some years, like shakiness,fast heart rate, abnormal weight gain despite my strict diet and this psychological fear that I might die or something bad might happen any day I didn’t use. It honestly felt like an addiction which was obviously because I feared for my life. Sad to say I was a mess.
One day, I reached out to my doctor colleague in U.K. We were having a casual conversation, I got carried away and just chipped in my health struggles. She advised me on a very good medication she uses off the record for her patients who cared to listen. Now, what caught my attention was its efficacy with absolutely no side effects. I became curious for I trusted her as she was the best I know in the field. She then connected me with Stephanie whom she said would explain the rest to me. Normally, I wouldn’t have believed a word from Stephanie but since the recommendation was coming from this friend, I was very attentive. I decided to give it a try and my wife was in support. I placed my order which was delivered promptly. I used them accordingly and on the first week, my sugar level crashed. I went from 230 to 136 mg/dL. My shakiness, trembling and anxiety stopped. I became really active. In awe of what had happened, I was scared that if i continued my levels might be too low but thats when I realized the medication reduces and then stabilizes the sugar levels while fixing the cause of the problem. This was marvelous!
I continued with this medication and to my awe, its been three months now and I haven’t taken a shot of 1nsulin, I’m now off my 1nsulin pump. No more medications as my body could now independently process sugar on its own, I was finally cured! This was nothing short of a miracle. Likewise, I started administering it to my patients sharing my testimony to them. Most of them were amazed because they didn’t know I had same condition as they did, not to talk of being severe. I always had to hide this from them so when i started getting shaky due to the 1nsulin pumps, I hired an assistant. This helped avoid too much in person communication with my patients . It wasn’t actually something i’d share to my patients because as heath workers our patients look up to us, hence part of our job is to keep filling them with hope even when we know the orthodox medications are failing with overwhelming side effects.
My advise, take that bold step to combating diabetes from life for good and also be a tool to help liberate others with your testimony in due time because you will definitely testify as I did. You can help save a life but it can’t happen if you don’t start with yours.
