applefreak 1 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 went down to nan wah yesterday to get a replacement ballast the one for my kitchen light blew two grouses 1. they count the 1yr warranty from the day of purchase, not day of delivery. so if want to buy must buy then install immediately (though i won't recommend them to anyone) 2. the ballast cost $16 a pc. i was told at purchase that they do free replacement but now they tell me it's a 1yr thing :furious: can you imagine paying $16 to replace the ballast when i can get a similar light at that price or $3.9 from ikea? the twin light bulb one is worse, there's 2 ballast in there so it'll cost $32 to replace, just slightly less than the cost of a new light :fire: so everyone, DON'T buy from nan wah :curse: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But hb liked that particular light so we ended up buying from them. Never intend to visit that shop again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My FIL is a Type II disbetics oso (+ triple heartbypass patient), jus need to control diet but dont need daily jabs wan. The prick-ur-finger thing is to test the blood sugar levels rite? He does it daily nw so as to know the blood sugar count, very helpful to see if he's been over-eating what he shdnt as he's a foodie. No mre durian, cakes, rice, starch stuff etc. Eat mre fruits & oats I guess, we have a whole list of what he shd eat n cannot eat plastered on the fridge door, it helps *winks* My FIL likes to eat Japanese food so it helps as he can eat Sashimi for dinner. If ur mom likes Chinese food, consider steamboat? Just need to find mre alternative type of cooking to lure her to eat health-foods, ganbatte!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yap Greycat is right the meter reading is to test ur blood sugar and is not painful but expensive cos need to buy the filter paper every 2 months. It must be measure in the morning b4 meal then is accurate so some day her blood sugar level is low she can afford to eat more rice but certain day will have to watch the diet. 1) Black Kopi every morning with one tablet of "EQUAL" sugar ONLY. (if she is a kopi person) 2) Whole meal bread instead of White Bread. (Anyway she is not a bread person, but it will stop her hunger if she took less rice.) 3) If bisket take the wholemeal too 4) Less rice and try for Brown rice. (Maybe hard to pursade cos my MIL also refuse to eat) 5) Eat more fruits and EXERCISE more. (Morning Walk 1 hr downstair) 6) Drink more water in the DAY time cos when u exercise u will need water to recover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
candyprincess 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 hmmm... if she doesnt wanna eat then get her to drink a cup of milo.... its worse if a person goes hypo than hyper. get her have small frequent meals as compared to 3 meals... diabetics need to have breakfast, teabreak, lunch, teabreak, dinner, supper... you cn always mix brown rice with white rice... so its not that hard to eat... diabetics tend to be more thirsty so lotsa water is good... with regards to checking of the blood glucose level, sometimes they have offers.. u but the strips and they give the machine free... hospital pharmacies usually have some promotion going on... do check with the doctor if it is necessary to check daily... for some pple it is not... so no point pricking urself daily just to regulate ur diet... it does hurt if u prick the wrong area... and must alternate fingers... if ure not sure abt anything, always check back with your endocrinologist.... they wld knw best... also have to make sure ur mum doesnt go step on those pebbles barefoot and becareful of cuts & grazes... diabetics tend to have slower healing rate... they also have less sensation over their lower limbs... blood circulation is somehow affected... so must wear proper footwear... quite a lot of things to look out for... heh.... my dad also triple bypass patient... did his bypass in oct 06... also has hypertension, high cholesterol and diabetes... my mum has diabetes and hypertension.. guess i wun be able to escape from it in future... haiiii oh well ur mum will be fine she jus needs to adjust her food n lifestyle a bit... tk care!
