5-minute Freewrite: Syrup
He came out from the doctor's room still in great disbelief. He was only at young age of 22 years and he had been diagnosed with serious diabetes. Doctor advised him to change his diet entirely.
Now he regretted not listening to his mother's advice when he was young. Almost daily he would indulge in sweet stuff, mainly sweet drink - all kinds of syrup. Not only that, he loved to eat all kinds of junk food that contain HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) and drink all those soda or gaseous drink. Regret he was but too late.
His wound at his toes had gone real bad and it would not heal. Diabetes was the cause. He had nothing else to do but to cut off his relationship with sugar syrup. This was way better than to cut off his toes. Even at this point, fruit juice was not recommended. There was nothing else to be allowed in his diet except fresh cooked food and plain water and of course medication.
It was too late but still early enough to realise and to have a change of lifestyle.
If you do not know what freewrite is, it is a plan by @mariannewest and @improv to just free flow write out our thoughts, where there is no fear of whether what we write is good or not, just write and write in that 5-minutes-time. Here is the introductory post. Come on, you can start joining and have fun too! ☺

@iamjadeline thanks for the post. My late father-in-law suffered from diabetes. He had to change his ways because his feet was actually changing colour... from fresh pink to black. It is certainly a Big Epidemic that is impacting lives all across the world. Obesity is the other that is closely related to our massive "sugar" diet. A good movie that changed my perspective of what we buy and put into our mouths is "That Sugar Film" watch it. It will change your life. Blessings! Mel @coachmelleow
I will bear this movie in mind to watch it when I can. Really gotto cut down sugar for a healthier lifestyle. Thank you @coachmelleow for commenting. It adds on to my writing.
Oh, I wish I had listened to my mom about a few things too. : ) The last sentence was perfect!
I am the resident cat delivering the new prompt for today. Have fun! : )

Oh yes, always listen to mum's advice. Now that I am a mum myself I finally understand how my mum felt when I did not want to listen.
Thank you for dropping by my freewrite. @whatisnew.💜
so many young kids have already diabetes for eating a terrible diet!
Oh yes. It used to be a sickness of older age. Now it strikes even the young ones.
