From the time I can remember him, my uncle Tom was always a food lover. No wonder that I can always recall him to be a fat man. I have to admit that if it were not for his wife Matilda, I doubt whether he would be alive today, as she was always getting food from him and instructing him to end eating. At home Matilda did her maximum to prepare healthy meals which are low in fat. Matila will not prepare any after meal desserts, unless it was some special day.
Sadly, my uncle always craved sweets, cakes, doughnuts, chocolates, or be it any variety of food that is high in sugar content. So what does Tom do about it: he would travel to their grocer at least once a week to buy all the foodstuffs which might be “missing”, like muffins, tarts, biscuits etc. In accordance with my auntie, her husband has the bad habit of eating a packet of biscuits in one go. Matilda does her best to manage her husband’s eating while inside their home, though she is not always successful. However she's not with him in the office and who knows what type of foods and sweets my uncle eats during office hours.
His doctor told him many times that he ought to shed weight immediately, but these tips did not have a great deal of effect. Whenever someone told him that he should eat better and less for his own good, my uncle would once say that we only live once. Not surprisingly, uncle Tom’s son and daughter also love to eat chocolates, cakes and sweets. "Like father like son", as they say.
However after a blood test 2 to 3 weeks ago, it ended up that Tom has type 2 diabetes. My uncle got a shock when he got to know from the doctor what could be the implications of diabetes type 2. The doctor advised that it would be best to have a glucose meter, either by purchasing one or by registering to get free one at some websites. Just how can uncle Tom live without his beloved biscuits, cakes and desserts I have no idea!
Uncle Tom still feels as though he is in his sleep. My uncle has significantly dropped his consumption of sweets, biscuits, sodas etc., but he has been very gloomy as of late. One thing my uncle still should get is the glucose test kit.
At that point I typed in my uncle’s details on the form provided in order to get a free glucose meter. All right, uncle Tom might have very easily subscribed him self for the free glucose meter, however I'm really wishing to be of assistance. I'm hoping it won't take long for uncle Tom to get the free glucometer.
