Targetted Blood Glucose

I know i’ve had diabetes for a long time now.. but for this long.. I still don’t really know how to gauge my blood sugar readings.  Recently, at the doctor’s office.. i found the information on a pamplet.  So if you are like me.. this is the ready you should aim for.

4.0 to 7.0 – Fasting blood/before meals

5.0 to 10.0 -  Blood glucose – 2hrs after eating

7% or less for A1C (but depending on your lab)

The above is only a guide.. but at least now i know what to aim for.

Warming The New House

We were invited to a housewarming of our customer and the house was warm alright..!  they had so many ppl invited.. the house was just too small to hold so many friends and family members.. and of course us.. the business associates.  We toured the house abit.. but what caught my attention was the vessel sinks in all the bathrooms, they were really beautiful. Looks like they got a good deal for it too.

Shopping Therapy

My girlfriends encourages me to go shopping if one is down… or discouraged.  They swear that shopping therapy is good for the health.  But I find it so tiring.. to go from store to store.. just to window shop.. i prefer to buy on my Amazon books online and in the comfort of your own home.. and in pajamas.

Console Games & Health

I sometimes wonder if getting an xbox 360 is a good idea at all for the family.  I mean we sell them at our store .. and all.. but seeing the man not sleeping early to finish a game.. or get all excited because he can’t beat a level.. makes me wonder .. if i should ever encouraged families with young kids to buy them.
