Chapter 728: Diabetes

In the Meng Family Mansion.

This year, the Meng family was also in a turbulent year. Since she pretended to be sick last time, she really fell ill this time. She has been bedridden all day long. Her face was sallow and she vomits what she eats. Sometimes she can’t even recognize people.

The doctor came one after another, but there was no cure.

Meng Daren gritted his teeth and begged the emperor to do him a favor. He was then permitted to let his wife seen by the Imperial Doctor. The Imperial Doctor’s skills were much higher than ordinary doctors in the capital, so he quickly found out what his wife’s disease was. Her disease was something called: diabetic syndrome.

Meng Daren pulled the imperial doctor to the side and asked in detail: “Imperial Doctor Zhang, what kind of disease is this diabetic syndrome? Is there such a disease?”

Imperial Doctor Zhang sighed and said, “Meng Daren, to be honest, my grandfather died of the diabetic syndrome. My elder brother is also suffering from this disease, and he is also bedridden now. That’s why, after seeing Madam Meng’s condition, I was able to diagnose her disease immediately.”

Master Meng anxiously said: “What do you mean by this? My wife, who is suffering from this diabetic syndrome, has no cure?”

Imperial Doctor Zhang replied: “My grandfather was also a doctor in the Imperial Hospital. After he got this diabetic syndrome, he formulated a variety of prescriptions for this disease. Only one prescription became effective, but it only plays its role at the early onset of disease. Even if it temporarily save his life, the disease still consumes his remaining life. As for how long a person can last, it depends on a person’s luck.”

Meng Nan was standing on the side and listening. The more he listened, the more he became frightened. So he said anxiously: “How can this be? My mother has always been in good health, and there was nothing unusual before the onset of the disease. How could you say she is gravely ill? Did you make a wrong diagnosis?”

If someone else said this, Imperial Doctor Zhang would have already left, but there were patients like this in his family. He can understand Meng Nan’s current mood very well, and he could understand his doubts. So he patiently said, “Meng Gongzi, this disease doesn’t develop in a day or two. She must have this disease a long time ago, it’s just, you don’t know it, and Madam Meng didn’t care too much about it, so she missed the best time for treatment. If you have found it earlier and treat it in time, she won’t be like this now.”

Meng Nan shook his head: “No, it’s impossible, I don’t believe it. My mother is obviously well, how could she suddenly get such a strange disease.”

Imperial Doctor Zhang said: “This disease is inherited from the ancestors most of the time. You should carefully think about it. Did Madam Meng’s maternal family ever suffered from this disease?”

Speaking of this, Meng Daren immediately thought of his mother-in-law, who died in her early 40’s. She also suffered from a strange disease at the time. In just a few days, she became skinny, dizzy, confused, and vomit what she ate. Thinking about it, it was indeed very similar to his wife’s illness. And he heard that she died within a month.

Counting his mother-in-law’s age, she was about the same age as his wife now. The more he thought about it, the more he panicked.

Seeing the look of his father in the face, Meng Nan asked urgently: “Father, does my grandfather’s family really have this disease?”

Meng Daren nodded his head: “Your grandmother got this disease and died. She didn’t even last for a month.”

Imperial Doctor Zhang sighed again and turned around to write a prescription. His prescription can temporarily make Madam Meng feel better, but after a few days, her old disease will relapse. If she takes again this medicine, the medicine’s effect will relapse. His eldest brother was experiencing this situation now. He can’t take any medicine. He was already in a state of waiting for his death at home. His family was now preparing for his funeral. After thinking about it, he felt sad.
