If you have diabetes, especially if you are on insulin, love yourself, take care of your health, and invest in a glucometer to measure the glucose in your blood. It will help your doctor if you bring a list of your readings to your visit, we can make sure you are on the right dose of medications. And, if you aren't feeling well, you can check your sugar at home to see if that is what is causing you to feel ill, and go to your doctor for a check up if necessary. If you have not eaten yet for the day your sugar should be between 80 and 126 mg/dl. If you have eaten it should not be more than 160 mg/dl.

If you or your child has bad asthma, go for regular check ups with your doctor. It should be possible to work with your doctor and adjust your medications so that you don't have to go to Asthma Bay every time you have an asthma attack. You shouldn't be waking up in the night coughing or having to use your inhaler several times a day because your chest is tight. Talk to your doctor to find out if you should invest in a nebuliser or if you should be taking inhaled steroids to control your symptoms. Whenever you are prescribed antibiotics, please try to take them all. Many people stop taking them when they start feeling better or stop and save the rest for the next time. But if you do that, the infection isn't properly treated and may come back again, worse this time and resistant to that antibiotic. Most colds don't need antibiotics, but if you get them, love yourself, take care of your health, and take them all!
What are your goals in life? Have you thought about them recently? Do you know what they are? Are you working towards them? If you are not thinking about your goals and how you will achieve them, you are not likely to fulfill your dreams. A Life Coach can help you figure it out.
Cervical cancer is one of the few cancers that can usually be cured if caught early. Have you had a pap smear recently? Love yourself, take care of your health!
