Meet Hamid

I am a diabetic patient.

I am married I have three daughters.

My diabetes was diagnosed when I was at a glucose meter training.

At the end of the training class, we had to demonstrate the meter.

All my colleagues checked their sugar and I checked mine.

My colleagues' sugar was normal, but my sugar was 360 (mg/dL).

I couldn't believe it! I did the test again, but got the same result.

I couldn't believe it, because I had no diabetes symptoms.

A doctor diagnosed me and told me that I had diabetes for the past several years.

Ever since my diabetes was diagnosed, my sense of responsibility has increased tremendously.

I've become very serious about my goals.

I used to procrastinate (my care) but now I do it as early as possible and on time.

My family was very supportive of my diabetes - especially my wife.

Where I used to binge on fast food, junk food, and soda, I now avoid it.

My family and I have more beans, salads, and vegetables as part of our diet.

I want to live a very happy life for my family.

Thank you!
