New Phone Riddled with Garbage Apps
This is the reason I don't buy Chinese branded phones. If you need regular Android versions/updates, go for Samsung phones or Google Pixel phones. They give you the longest Android updates and security updates. Samsung phones may still come with some bloatware but Pixel phones have the least bloatware.

Fruit and Diabetes
The best way to find out what food you take can affect your blood sugar value is to do your own "experiment" at home. Test your blood sugar value before meal. Take another reading 2 hours after you have consumed the food. Use one of those home kit for blood sugar testing (e.g ACCU-CHEK, Omron, Sinocare, etc). It is tedious and requires discipline. I have developed it into an "art". I weigh my dry pasta before I cook it so that I control the portion size. It's not just the type of food you eat but also the portion size that can affect your blood sugar level. The HbA1c value only gives you the average blood sugar value for the past 3 months (your 6.0 to 6.2 values are very good). Some food release sugar to your blood faster than others (Glycemic Index), which you have to be aware of (e.g. refined sugar, etc). As a diabetic, you should avoid this type of food as sudden spikes in blood sugar level over time can damage small blood veins especially in your eyes. It doesn't mean that as a diabetic your cannot enjoy your food. Eat everything in moderation and some type of food less frequently than others. Good luck in your effort to control your diabetes.

Cancelling 3BB Internet
It is their computer system problem. I pay rental for a second router from 3BB and paid the rental for the whole year. They still send me a bill every month. I just ignore them.

Lazada - If it looks too good to be true ...
Why do you accept delivery when you know it was the wrong weight and size? Just tell the delivery guy to bring it back to his office. That was what I did. No problem at all.

Lazada - If it looks too good to be true ...
I always buy COD on Lazada. If the size/weight of the package is very different from what I have ordered, I refused to take delivery. This happened only once in my ten years of ordering from Lazada. But nowadays, scammers are everywhere.

Make life better with your own Win rider
Another is where to buy a Pixel brand mobile phone. That brand is not popular at all in Thailand. But WIN is searching. Any time he goes into a mall, he'll ask around at mobile phone shops there. Never heard of Lazada.co.th? https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?spm=a2o4m.homepage.search.d_go&q=Pixel phones
