Medical check-up at home.

The first time I got a check-up at home was in January this year by my younger sister. She insisted to check my blood pressure and blood sugar level. My Grandma had a small BP monitor at home and I surrendered myself to her so she could do whatever she wanted as she insisted I did it. When she took the test, I got the result of the blood sugar test which I checked its meaning on Google as I didn't understand. I got to know I had pre-diabetes and immediately got scared ever since then. I have always eaten a lot of sugar and taken sugary substances a lot, Since that day, I stopped it except for taking natural sugar that comes with meals which is normal.

I have been careful of what I eat and drink; I don't take drinks that have a lot of sugar in them, and the only drinks I take are Milk, Nutri Milk and water, This has been working fine for me till now as I need to maintain my normal sugar level. Besides, my big sister kept advising us to take our health seriously because it's important. She is trying to prevent us from having diabetes, and remembering my last test in January, I am too scared to have that ailment because of how expensive it is later in the future. My Grandma had diabetes for many years and was maintaining her health with an exorbitant amount of money every month.

My sister had brought her automatic digital blood pressure monitor home and after the burial, she called every one of us to come do some tests on blood sugar and blood pressure. On that day, after morning devotion, she instructed everyone in the house not to take anything including drinking water until she had tested everybody and we all complied because we were eager to know our health status. She came prepared for us all especially knowing how much food and drinks we took during the event, but this didn't make me take any other soft drinks aside from the Exotic drink made with Mango juice.

In the video, not everyone is there so I decided to make it short. There are just 6 people in the video; the first person is my younger sister who is the last born of my parents, the second is my cousin who took care of Grandma till she died, she is the daughter of my Grandma's younger brother, the third is my younger brother, the fourth is my cousin who is my uncle's daughter, the fifth is my humble self (princessbusayo) and the last is my big sister who was checking our statuses.

We really had a great moment and bonding together that day, knowing once we get separated, it may take a long while to see ourselves again except for my siblings because we keep talking via WhatsApp video every time. The only person missing from the test is my immediate younger sister who had to travel on the last day of Grandma's burial because of the nature of her work in Port Harcourt. I got to know my blood pressure and sugar level which is normal for me. I just need to keep maintaining myself and avoid anything sugar or whatever may trigger diabetes in the future.

Thanks for your time on my blog.
