I went for my last check-up before we left the country. Finally my weight has gone up. I weigh 45.1 kg now. I had a different doctor today, he could speak slightly more English than the previous one. But still I couldn't talk much to him. I've decided to see Dr Delaila my regular OnG in Malaysia, once I reach home. It's much easier to talk to a doctor who can speak both Malay and English.

The doctor was concerned that my urine test showed a positive for sugar. I wasn't worried at all but I didn't explain to him. No need to bother with my limited Japanese and his limited English when I'm going home in a week's time.

Actually I took some honey (due to my cough, I've taken a lot of it) just before we left for the hospital for my 10 am appointment. So that could be the reason.

Another reason is in my earlier pregnancies, my doctor had also detected positive sugar in my urine but a blood test showed that I was actually having hypoglycemia not hyper. I had low blood sugar and that made me feel faint when I had to stand for a long time. All the sugar that I consumed came out in the urine, resulting in my body having low blood sugar. I was advised to take more sugar, then.

Actually, I'm very sure I have consumed less sugar since I came to Japan. No teh tarik or much sweet Malay cooking for me. So, why should I be worried. However, my husband insisted it was because I've been drinking soda and Pepsi. (You caught me there!)Well, not much really. Once or twice in a week or two, is not much, right?

Anyway, just to be sure in 10 days time, I'll see a Malaysian OnG. By the way, Dr Delaila has a Japanese mother.;)
