Diabetes and My Wife

By Alevoor Rajagopal

If you had been following this diabetes series, here is the continuation. I promise to end this here. I just had to tell you about what crossed my wife when she saw improvement in my diabetes. And what doctors had to say.

Well. Doctors just gave a smile and shoved the report at me. That was enough for my wife to heave a sigh. It releived me more than the test report or the doctor's smile. Well it had not cured my diabetes. But it was enough for me to take some liberty regarding my eating habits. But this was not to live long as I discovered.

Wife looked down upon me from the edge of her eyes at my hinting that we have dinner at a restaurant. She said it was only the report of my past control and not an insurance for the future. She also made it clear that it was she who controled my blood glucose, not me.

I thought I could tame diabetes well and would sure fail if I had to control ... ahem ... I don't understand, why the wives of the world don't realize their husbands' merry moods and freedoms. Some times you don't understand certain things in life (wife?). Perhaps this is one of the nature's best kept secrets.
