11th Nov, my 1st appt at SGH LIFE ctr with Eric Ho who is my snr physiotherapist. Made a health assessment and signed up for DIABEX program consisting of 18 sessions over 3 months period.
Eric told me he had consulted with Dr Lee Huei Yen as I've chest pain, difficulty breathing & knee pain, had to have an ECG done before he can increase the intensity. I've old injury on my left knee & shoulder blade which sometimes the pain is excruciating!
I was also advised to do exercises only at LIFE ctr, cannot do exercises on my own, the most I can go cycling for 30 mins over wkends. I had to adhered to my 6 small meal plans, cannot skip nor don't eat at all, otherwise he'll pull me out of the program. :p
Hee..at home playing my WII Nintendo sports, count or not huh? hehe
Before I start my exercises, they will monitor my blood sugar & blood pressure to ensure am alright to start. Oh well, this morning had to rest a while 1st before exercising too.
Had some stretches, cycling 20 mins, chest press, pull down, neck pull (all 2 x 15 sets), threadmill 20 mins with 5 mins cool down session, dumbbells and leg press. Phew, all completed in more than 3hrs!! I had breathing difficulties, knee having excruciating pain while cycling & on threadmill.
My blood glucose reading: before exercise 10 a.m 14.8 because I took 2 pratas and 1 small potato for breakfast at 9.30 a.m. Need to have more hence, sugar won't go so low after exercise. After exercise, blood glucose reading 8.5!! Very good!! Time for me to change and go for lunch.
Saw Dr Lee HY when I was approaching block 4 but guess she didn't saw me huh? hee... Later, I saw Prof JF Cullen at Delifrance again. We had a nice chat and he told me he remember seeing me on TV CNA.
After having lunch, went to DBC to look for DNE Eunice to ask her which blood pressure monitor good as mine's at home is cranky. Had nice chat with the familiar counter staffs and nurses whom they told me they saw me how I presented during the public forum. I need to rush back to work le.
