Okay, had a minor muscle injury last thursday and was on MC on friday. Went to see the doctor on friday, explained to her about how my thighs got hurt (yes, saya debab so semasa turun tangga scaffold tu saya amat berhati² sekali dengan menahan kaki supaya tidak terjatuh), then I told her about the numbness on my hands when waking up in the morning. On and off I wud wake up in the morning feeling numb on both hands, I wud just shake it off thinkin maybe the a/c was causing the numbness. But then, I notice when I don't sleep with a/c on, I sometimes do wake up feelin numb. Then on friday morning, again I shoke my hands but this time, it took me about 5-7 mins for my hands to "feel" again. Which scared the hell out of me. The doctor explained maybe I have nerve entrapment at the back of my neck. And advised me to go for a x-ray and blood test to determine what really is the cause of this numbness. I also tried Googling it on the net and most sites suggested the same cause. Then I saw something I don't want to see. Another cause for this so called "morning numbness" is infact an early sign of diabetes.
Tajot! My family, both mom & dad's side, have a long history with diabetes. My late Opah and Atok both was diabetics. So was my late Aunt Sophie. Mom and Dad pun :( I really, REALLY hope I'm not one. I grew up watching how Mom and Dad progressed from metformin popping to insulin shots, order less sugary drinks, drink tea without sugar..nooo I don't want that! (Progressed tu boleh pakai ke sini?? I can't find the right term for it)
Made an appointment yesterday to go see a doctor at KPMC later this evening after work. I hope the result turns out good for me. إن شاء الله.
