Diabetes and General Health stuff….

glucometerAs many know I am a Type 2 diabetic. This condition is brought on by my obesity. So “technically” it is easy to deal with. But that isn’t always the case….I’ve been trying to control my sugar levels with a combination of oral meds, diet, and exercise with varying degrees of success for the past 8 years. Recently I started taking insulin. and it’s helped a lot with my control levels….

Also I’ve joined 2 “Biggest Loser” contests. One with a group of friends (8 people) where each one has contributed $50, so there is a $400 pot. We were running it from jan 1 to Apr 2, so it will be done soon. Also work is running another with $20 a head and 10 ppl, for a $200 pot.

So far I’ve gone from 259 to 244 so 15lbs lost. This has contributed to tighter blood control levels as well…

also last week I had an eye injury at work. I got something in my eye from the ambulance and got a corneal abrasion. It had me out of work for a few days and was pretty painful but should be resolved now…

Photo Gallery

Ok, the migration to the new gallery is complete….http://photos.spasticpagan.com/ is no more, so don’t bother going there, I’ve also removed the link to it.

All my photos will now be on http://www.photos.scottdumont.com/

Currently I have all my photos up to end of 2006, and a few ones of this year, hopefully I’ll get the more recent ones up soon… Not bad though only 4 months behind on that.

*MASSIVE* Update

ok, it’s been almost a year since I’ve updated my blog….hrm….maybe about time eh? Since there is so much do update I’ll be doing it in separate posts, then hopefully I can do more regular updates, maybe monthly, but who knows, no promises…..

Passed Paramedic class

Star of LifeOn Thursday (April 6th 2006) I took my final exam for my paramedic class. Passed the final, passed the class, passed my ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support). This makes it possible for me to start my hospital time. Most likely I will be doing it at Charlton Memorial Hospital.
