Eiks I am at risk?!
When I read the article below from TheStar Online, especially after reading my blogger friend, Ailian's posting here, I start asking myself..Am I a risk? Eiks..better start watching my diet!
Who is at risk?
AMONG the general population, those who:
·Have Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) symptoms
·Have a parent, brother, or sister (first-degree relative) with T2DM
·Have had heart disease
·Have abnormal blood cholesterol levels (HDL, or "good" cholesterol, level below 0.9mmol/L or triglyceride level above 1.7mmol/L)
·Have high blood pressure (above 140/90mm Hg; on therapy for hypertension)
·Have a clinical condition associated with insulin resistance
·Are overweight (BMI over 23; or waist wider than 80cm for women and 90cm for men)
·Do not exercise regularly (less than three times a week, 20 minutes at a time)
·Are women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
Pregnant women who:
·Have a BMI over 27
·Have delivered a baby weighing 4kg or more (Shone was 4.24 kg when he was born, 15 days earlier from my due ...a scheduled c-section by gynae and specialist at govt. hospital!)
·Have a bad obstetric history and/or current obstetric problems
·Have gestational diabetes mellitus
·Have glucose in their urine at the first prenatal visit
·Are over 25
TAKE ACTION: If you have any of the risk factors above, ask your doctor to screen you immediately. If you do not have any of them, ask your doctor to screen you annually from age 30 and up.
Overweight children and teenagers (over 120% of ideal weight) who have:
·A first- or second-degree relative (aunt, uncle, grandparent, nephew, niece, half-sibling) with T2DM
·A mother who has had gestational diabetes mellitus
·An Indian ethnic background
·Signs of insulin resistance or conditions associated with it
TAKE ACTION: If your child or teen meets any two of the criteria above, make sure he or she is screened for T2DM at least every two years from age 10 onwards, or at the onset of puberty if puberty occurs before then.
Information sourced from the latest edition of the Ministry of Health's T2DM Management Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG).
The CPG is available at moh.gov.my/MohPortal/cpgPublic.jsp and will be officially launched in Putrajaya on August 11. — LEE TSE LING

Swimming adventures
KY is so excited as it's been sometime since we last took her to swim! Her first swim was when she was 5 months old. Then now and then when the weather is fine and when we happened to be at home, we would bring them to swim.
She is so excited and wanted to learn to swim(without her swimming ring) after watching another jie jie swimming in the pool. She spent like close to an hour in the pool.
It was Shone first swim(at 1 year-old) and I scooped Shone up after like 20 mins in the pool splashing water and went up my unit to shower. After both of us took our shower( and blow my hair even) we went down to pick up the jie jie(DH is with her).
However, KY still refused to come up from the pool, then i brought Shone for a walk at the pool side and fish pond for like 10-15 mins, still...my girl refused to come out from the pool...DH said why not you go up and come down 30minutes later?
As it was rather hot, I wanted to go to the mini market to buy an ice-cream(my fav :P) but realised I forgot to bring any $. Then suddenly I thought why not I go up again to my unit, bring some $ down and buy me some ice-cream and try to TEMPT KY with it. Perhaps that would make her come out from the POOL!
So I went and practically shout and SHOW OFF my ice-cream at poolside :P ( I think I managed to TEMPT not only her but many kids at the kids pool :P..this mommy..must be losing her mind??)...anyway I didn't care...kept calling her..and LICK my ice-cream..Mango Tango(yep the new flavour from Walls..not bad..)
And finally..it works ;) she obediently leave the pool and came after me for ice-cream..hahah..
So folks, this is one of my tricks :P which succeeded.. it works !
Cheers!
