My Blood Glucose Test Experience

June 25th, 2009 by admin

Glucose is the basic type of sugar found in the body. It’s essential because only in its form we can use the sugar from our food intake as a source of energy. It is important to measure the amount of glucose in the blood to evaluate how our body is converting and breaking foods down, how the liver is working and lastly how our organs regulate the amount of glucose supplied to them. There are several ways to test and measure blood glucose like FBS, HbA1c or hemoglobin A1c test, oral glucose tolerance, random blood sugar and self monitoring of blood glucose or SMBG. A doctor or sometimes a nurse can perform the test to evaluate the amount of glucose in the blood whenever a person is suspected to have diabetes. In my case my sister, who is a registered nurse, tested my blood sugar by using Ascencia Glucose. Anyone who would undergo the test needs not to eat or drink water for at least 8 hours usually overnight so I had my test done in the morning. A needle was used to prick my finger to get some small drop of blood. Then it was put into a strip of paper which is then inserted to a blood glucose monitor machine. The machine reads and displays the blood glucose reading in just a few minutes. Luckily, she said my blood glucose is pretty much normal.

One of a Kind of Stress Management

June 13th, 2009 by admin

I couldn’t believe what I’m doing lately; it’s ridiculously insane to be sleeping at seven am knowing that your work starts at 2 in the afternoon. I knew I’m not just jeopardizing my health but my work as well. The culprit is the not so famous out of this world sci-fi flick, Star Wars. I had the impression at first that only geeks and not so geek enjoy this movie plus the fact that I’ve never seen any of the six episodes. It was not until last night, being too exhausted from work that I came across the pile of DVD next to my collection of Sidney Sheldon books. I didn’t; know what happened next, the only thing I knew is going on the internet to look for more info, trivia, clues and even spoiler of what the next episode will be. It’s really weird that I do a lot of stuff when I’m stressed out. Last time I remember going out of town with my boyfriend with only one day preparation, this time I want it prepared though. I can’t wait to have that adventure travel of my life, I’ve been dreaming of that flight mig certificate in our topgun getaway in Russia. I wonder what kind of euphoria I can get, may the force be with me.

Health, Life, Love

April 28th, 2009 by admin

Last night was a pretty interesting one because I was able to chat with someone, who has the same hobbies as mine and in the same field of medicine. She lives near our area, which made it a lot more interesting. We are both fans of rare disease and we were able to talk about a lot of things about it and then some more. I met her in one of those free live chat sites that I used to not give attention to, but I’m a bit thankful that I gave it a shot. My purpose is to look for people to talk to that also like what I do and this one is right on the money… I was finally able to find in the opposite gender that loves medicine, more particularly those rare severe one. She said she would spend almost the whole Saturday to get some earnings in the online sites that she like visiting and she almost never lose. She also said that she has been doing chatting for a long time, looking for people to play poker with, and even joined a teen chat room before so she could find people. I invited her this coming weekend to go to a casino and she said yes. So I guess I have a date on a Saturday night thanks to chat.

Digital Black Jack

April 2nd, 2009 by admin

I got a chance to check ras online casinos last night when I was talking to my friend, who happens to be a really big fan of online casinos. He has been telling me about the site and I kept on ignoring him since I am more of a traditional casino type of person, well at least until last night. He told me that I should go and try playing online black jack - rascasinos.com style and he assured me that I will definitely enjoy it. He knows that I love playing black jacks and it is usually the table that I immediately go to whenever we get a chance to go to casinos, and he made it as bait for me to bite to his hook. He even hyped it as similar to playing black jacks in Westspiel Casinos (a place in Westdeutschland that we were able to visit) where I really enjoyed playing black jacks and was able to get my biggest win ever. I gave it a shot and I was amazed that I actually enjoyed it, much as I enjoy playing it in real casinos. I guess from now on, I’ll be able to play black jack anytime I want using my laptop computer.

Trekking For Health

March 18th, 2009 by admin

Base camp trekking has been a very effective exercise for me because I was able to lose weight fast with my weekly trips to the mountains and I was able to develop my endurance because unlike before when I couldn’t even climb the third floor of our office building, now I can even last longer than my dog when we do our morning jogging at the park. That’s basically my workout and I don’t even use weights to gain more strength because the environment at the base of the mountain is so good that it helps me keep my lungs, heart and my whole body in good physical shape. I am really thankful that my friends invited me before to try trekking because it changed my life for the better. I am now able to do a lot of things that were almost impossible for me to do before.

I always feel energetic and I confidently say that I am better than most of my friends physically because of the exercise program that I did for myself. My girlfriend is even getting in to the program because she can see how well I have become ever since I started trekking every weekend.

Growth Hormones For Fighting Aging

March 3rd, 2009 by admin

I was a little surprised when I heard my auntie said that she is currently using HGH Therapy as her anti aging therapy to herself. What made me surprised is when I asked her what HGH meant, she said HGH stands for Human Growth Hormone. I was a bit flabbergasted because as far as I know, these growth hormones are supposedly only be used by body builders or people under medication, and my auntie doesn’t fall in any of those two categories. I even cracked a joke saying she might end up becoming a muscle bound woman if she continue using it, but she pretended she didn’t hear what I have said. I really didn’t know that growth hormones can actually be used as anti aging tool and I am not really sure about its effects. But I guess since my auntie is using it, growth hormones should be safe, especially for old people.

But still. I will look in to it a little bit further to find out what it is because as far as I know, growth hormones are closely related to anabolic steroids, at least that’s what I currently know… I maybe wrong about this whole thing though

Taming Ringworms

February 11th, 2009 by admin

I am currently looking for some good acne products so I could get rid of these rashes that grew on my back. They are really killing me right now because I am already having trouble sleeping due to them being really itchy all the time. It even wakes me up in the middle of the night because I could stop scratching my back, even though I use hot compress to ease the itchiness every night.

I have to find some acne solutions really fast because I do not want my back looking like it came from a torture because I ended up wounding myself due to excessive scratching. I already went to a dermatologist and she told me that I have ringworms and that’s why my back is really itchy. She gave me some acne products but they were too expensive for me and what I’m trying to find right now are some alternatives that I could use so I wouldn’t need to spend much on it, but I get the same effect. I know that there are some out there so please, if anyone knows, just tell me so I can get rid of these. It’s starting to frustrate me already.

The Coffee Shop Girl

February 11th, 2009 by admin

I am inside a Star Bucks coffee shop as I write this particular piece and I just can’t help but stare at the girl to my right. She looks really beautiful while she takes some sip from her coffee cup and her long, black hair just adds up to the already beautiful face. Normally I would think of going towards the girl and try to hit on her, but this time, I just look at her like a kid looking at a toy inside a toy store, wondering if she would look good in a sterling silver jewelry that I sell.

I would sell her one of my jewelry but I ended up just giving her a calling card with my website in it because I don’t have anything with me but my laptop computer and a cup of coffee. I just hope that she check out my web site so I could sell her some necklace and bracelets, or maybe even try to make her buy wholesale jewelry from my site since she looks like she has a lot to give. Besides, it has been a long time now since I had some wholesale buyers and I feel that she could actually buy a lot from me…
