Hello

1
00:00:01.175 --> 00:00:02.075
Hello

2
00:00:04.025 --> 00:00:07.275
You started receiving treatment at our hospital by chance

3
00:00:07.875 --> 00:00:11.225
But you mentioned that you have diabetes

4
00:00:11.225 --> 00:00:16.525
I remember that even though your levels weren't high, you were under a lot of pressure from diabetes

5
00:00:17.625 --> 00:00:19.938
When did you receive an accurate diagnosis?

6
00:00:21.975 --> 00:00:30.826
About 2 years ago after a blood test, I didn't take it seriously when the doctor 

7
00:00:31.376 --> 00:00:34.926
told me that I should be careful as I'm in the pre-diabetes stage

8
00:00:35.326 --> 00:00:39.776
Around September of last year, through another blood test

9
00:00:39.776 --> 00:00:47.326
I was shocked because I was told I have to take diabetes medication

10
00:00:47.926 --> 00:00:51.276
So it progressed, since you went from the pre-diabetes stage to having diabetes

11
00:00:51.276 --> 00:00:51.826
Yes

12
00:00:51.826 --> 00:00:54.826
Right, and how has taking the medication been?

13
00:00:56.826 --> 00:01:04.126
There was a considerable psychological stress about taking diabetes medication at a young age

14
00:01:06.276 --> 00:01:12.776
Once you take diabetes medication, you have to take it for the rest of your life

15
00:01:12.776 --> 00:01:14.626
so there were a significant psychological pressure on that

16
00:01:14.626 --> 00:01:22.026
Nevertheless, there was no choice but to take medications for my diabetes

17
00:01:23.126 --> 00:01:25.826
Overall, I was significantly feeling low

18
00:01:26.326 --> 00:01:31.977
and my eyes also felt quite uncomfortable and blurry 

19
00:01:31.977 --> 00:01:39.677
Then how many months after taking your medication did you start treatment at our clinic?

20
00:01:42.127 --> 00:01:46.327
It was about 4 months after I start taking my medication

21
00:01:46.327 --> 00:01:50.727
So the HbA1c level didn't change during that 4 months, right?

22
00:01:51.127 --> 00:01:51.677
Yes, that's right

23
00:01:51.677 --> 00:01:54.077
Did it get worse or better?

24
00:01:54.077 --> 00:02:01.427
My HbA1c level stayed the same, that’s maybe because of the medication

25
00:02:01.427 --> 00:02:02.027
Was it the same?

26
00:02:02.027 --> 00:02:02.677
Yes

27
00:02:02.677 --> 00:02:06.477
Then how were feeling after getting treatments at our clinic?

28
00:02:06.477 --> 00:02:15.927
The first thing was getting my energy back like before 

29
00:02:15.927 --> 00:02:25.777
And secondly, my eyes which were feeling uncomfortable and blurry felt, well I guess, refreshed

30
00:02:26.378 --> 00:02:30.528
At first, the HbA1c level didn't drop much after the treatment

31
00:02:31.278 --> 00:02:37.078
But suddenly after a month and a half to 2 months it dropped significantly

32
00:02:37.578 --> 00:02:39.284
And now, is it not going up anymore?

33
00:02:39.284 --> 00:02:39.803
Yes

34
00:02:39.803 --> 00:02:44.028
So that means you need to take your medication anymore. And what do you think about that?


35
00:02:44.028 --> 00:02:46.528
Right now I no longer take my medication anymore 


36
00:02:47.328 --> 00:02:51.678
for medication...You see I really like hotteok (Korean sweet pancakes)

37
00:02:52.878 --> 00:03:00.028
and I think I make them at least once every fortnight 

38
00:03:00.778 --> 00:03:02.178
I shouldn't be eating them but

39
00:03:02.178 --> 00:03:03.329
That's right, it has flour and sugar

40
00:03:04.078 --> 00:03:10.928
But despite that, when Igot my HbA1c test result

41
00:03:12.578 --> 00:03:18.028
it was the same as the HbA1c level I got after the surgery

42
00:03:18.028 --> 00:03:21.128
You've come to a state where there's no change now

43
00:03:21.128 --> 00:03:24.979
The test results will come out this afternoon

44
00:03:24.979 --> 00:03:30.529
The temporary HbA1c levels measured at the clinic are surprisingly low

45
00:03:30.529 --> 00:03:33.179
It seems that you have stabilized

46
00:03:33.179 --> 00:03:36.779
So, once we see the test results that come out this afternoon

47
00:03:37.179 --> 00:03:42.879
But being able to have hotteok without taking your medication means 

48
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.229
your pancreatic is functioning properly so congratulation!

49
00:03:46.229 --> 00:03:47.229
Thank you

50
00:03:47.229 --> 00:03:48.097
Okay, great

51
00:03:48.097 --> 00:03:49.204
Thank you
