Accu-queasy
This morning I saw a commerical for Accu-chek, a glucose monitor that diabetics can use to monitor their blood sugar levels. One brief scene showed the Accu-chek in action, drawing a small sample of blood from a user's finger tip and displaying a quick reading. Great news for the Accu-chek user, but bad news for Kristy. I got completely queasy just from watching!
After putting my head down and breathing deep for a few seconds, the queasiness passed. What remained was a firm resolve to do everything in my power not to get diabetes. If the commerical for Accu-chek makes me nauseous, imagine what actually using an Accu-chek would do! I'd be passing out all over town and 8 ways to Tuesday.
So I'm going to dedicate a few solid work hours to researching ways of avoiding diabetes. And I will certainly keep you posted on my quest to not get diabetes. Wish me luck.
