My mom does this to herself. She feels like failure when her CBG is high. She scolds herself for having too much rice or that teensy slice of cake the night before. I'm thankful her endo (Abi Roxas) is quick to reassure her that she shouldn't stress over the day to day values. "Just eat, Tita, ako bahala sa sugars mo," Abi says.
This is true! I'm also guilty of acting like a terror teacher in the clinic. I try to catch myself when I do this and be more forgiving to patients and their families. After all, food is meant to be enjoyed and celebrated. Kudos to Ma'am Abi!
I remember my panic when my blood sugar went even higher than the borderline number it already was on the previous exam. I got scared of my cardiologist's reaction.

I did have a flimsy excuse.
"Mahirap maging malungkot, dok."
"Nagte-therapy ka ba?"
That went better than I thought.
Awww, kudos to your doctor for being a safe space!!!
