Diabetes
When I was pregnant, I took extra caution not to take too much sugar and cut down on starchy food to avoid myself from being diabetic. But being diabetic during pregnancy is different from the common diabetic condition.
I have a relative that is suffering from diabetic for a few years. She is having difficulties in walking now, and without proper exercise, her condition has gone worse. I’m not sure what is her medication now, but seems like she can monitor her glucose level by herself, if she wants too.
These Freestyle Strips can be used to test the sugar lever with only 0.3 micro liter blood sample, which means it’s only requiring a tiny bit of blood sample and she will not have to go through a lot of pain. The strips are available from American Diabetes, a diabetic supplies online that provides a 30-60% savings to people without any health insurance.
But anyway, it’s all about her lifestyle. She can measure the sugar lever, but she still have to watch her diet and exercise regular for better recovery. I think I better pay her a visit next time when I go to Kedah.
