A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article about getting my diabetes and diet under control. As I said, I had seen some very nice results as far as my blood glucose readings went. They were pretty close to normal, which made me quite happy.
Well, that was a one day more than 2 weeks [...]
About a year ago, in early 2008, I started having problems with my wrists. Most of the times, my wrists felt normal, but from time to time I would get sharp pains in my wrists. Both wrists experienced the problem, although my right wrist was worse with more often pain, and more severe as well.

I moved to the Philippines 8 years ago. When I moved here I weighed 430 pounds (yes, 430, that’s not a typo).
Six and a half years ago I had a stroke. I nearly died.
After having the stroke, I maintained a weight of around 340 pounds, plus or minus. So, my normal weight, [...]
Well, I have made a few mistakes, and some of them are serious. We all make mistakes, but on some issues we must do our very best to avoid mistakes, don’t you think? The issue that I am thinking of primarily is health.
About 10 months ago my wife and I moved to a new house. [...]

I made an adjustment a few days ago. A few months ago when I decided to start getting serious about my health, my blood glucose was over 300 (at fasting!). I don’t even know what it was after eating, I wouldn’t even want to guess. It took me 3 or 4 weeks [...]
I had a bit of a disappointment yesterday, although upon reflection I realize that it should not disappoint me too much. You see, I went and weighed myself for the first time in 4 weeks. I do not have a scale at my house, but I weigh myself at the health club where [...]
I really had a great lunch today, and a very low fat one at that! On top of that, 2 hours after eating lunch, my blood glucose had dropped by 27 points, compared to before lunch. So, it was quite healthy for me, and satisfying too.
Do you know what Pomelo is? It [...]
About two weeks ago I saw a friend that I had not seen for about 2 years. He lives in San Diego, California, but he comes to the Philippines on a somewhat regular basis. Since I live in the Philippines, not far from the place where he usually goes, we usually try to [...]
