Man in Kisii Hides His Diabetes Diagnosis Until Sugar Levels Normalize Only After Herbal Drink

When I was first diagnosed with diabetes in Kisii, I felt like my world had quietly ended. The doctor explained the condition carefully, but all I heard were the words “chronic” and “lifetime management.” I left the hospital with medication and instructions, but inside I was filled with fear.

I was still young. I had responsibilities. I did not want people to look at me differently or treat me like I was fragile.

So I kept it secret. Not even my closest relatives knew. I hid my medication in a small container under my clothes. I checked my sugar levels discreetly. Some days were manageable. Others were frightening.

There were moments of dizziness, constant thirst, and exhaustion that I blamed on work stress whenever someone asked. Pretending to be fine became more exhausting than the condition itself. Over time, despite following prescriptions, my sugar levels remained unstable.

I avoided social gatherings because food tempted me. I monitored everything I ate. Still, there was no significant improvement. Deep down, I felt frustrated and helpless. One evening, while visiting a friend outside Kisii town, I opened up about my struggles.
