11. Exercise our legs & feet
12. Glucose reading @ 3pm
13. Snack time @ 3:05pm

15. The nurse teaches us on how to inject insulin
16. Glucose reading @ 5pm
17. Dinner time @ 5:05pm

We were released after our dinner and I have to continue with 2 more times on the glucose reading at home. I have been eating like a 'pig' and walk like mad today. The doctor came over to see if I needed insulin injection due to 2 high readings for my glucose and I complained that the food the hospital gave was too big portion plus the time interval between each meal was too closed, no time for digestion. Because of this I have to go through the whole cycle again tomorrow; 3 meals, 3 snacks at scheduled time & 7 glucose blood test. How? I have already used up 7 of my fingers can I use my feet instead? heehee...

My new toy (Glucometer).

The green & pink device (lancet) is used to obtain a small pin of blood from the side of a finger by pricking it. Deposit my blood onto the test strip (blue packaging) and insert onto the bottom of the glucometer and wait for the result of the blood glucose level.
