Good Evening, my friends,
I've just been assessing my Body Mass Index online using the results from the Diabetes Community Clinic in Springfield Medical Centre near my flat.
These are the results and the assessment of my body mass index:-
Height:- 167.6 Centimetres (5ft6ins)
Weight:- 83 Kilogrammes (13 Stones, 0 Pounds and 15.7388 Ounces)
My Gender:- Adult Male
Age:- 46 Years
My Activity Level:- Inactive (Due to my autistic spectrum condition and musculoskeletal disorder)
Which gives me a Body Mass Index Of:-
29.5 (Overweight)
So, my good friends, I've left the Obese Body Mass Index categorisation and am now in the overweight categorisation which means according to the online-based Body Mass Index Calculator, I need to lose between 21 and 22 kilogrammes in order to achieve my ideal body weight for my height. This will be very difficult because of the difficult chronic pain condition that I live with on a day to day basis due to my Musculoskeletal Disorder but I'm determined to take my dear elderly father's advice about 'walking through the pain' and 'avoiding sugar' and eating 'little, but often'. Sticking and committing to the Low Carbohydrate High Fat Diet is very difficult for me, but I have acknowledged that they're 'devil carbs' and that reducing them and keeping them to a minimum and consuming them sparingly will give me a better HbA1c and better blood glucose readings.
My blood glucose reading tonight, 8:35 Post Meridian, on Sunday 11th December in the Millennium Year of 2016 after occasionally ingesting a few slices of cheesy pizza with some kind of meat on them, a few cups of tea and coffee with full cream milk and sweeteners and a couple, maybe three, bowls of Shreddies from Lee, my friend, with full cream milk was a very hyperglycaemic 9.0 Millimoles Per Litre, with lots of glasses of fresh tap water, probably caused by a friend's donation of some pizza slices and another friend's offer of some bowls of Shreddies, a carbohydrate absolutely drenched in granulated sugar. I intend to do better tomorrow to get a better glycaemic index. All that muck gave me a spike in my blood glucose level. But, tomorrow's another day as my care coordinator and elderly father would say.
Lots of love to you all.
