Someone in the Village has just had Solar installed https://www.solartech-center.co.th/solar-day/ No idea ? looks interesting

Desktop CPU New this year in Thailand https://www.advice.co.th/branch-a012/index.php/product/productdetail/A0157962

Everything I have had over the years from HP has been rubbish, sending to the Service Centre would have to wait months + returned the same not working and so it went on until the warrantee ran out

I have always built my own Desktop, [many in the past 30+ years] problem is now a day getting old + eyes not what they used to be I will buy all the items I want, take them to a little shop and have them assemble it, cost 300 - 500 baht... The problem with ready built is mostly built with parts I have no idea about or had problems with in the past would never buy.. + already have a decent Graphics card

My Partner has a Acer Laptop, still on XP it is very old and tired/slow but was a daily heavily used for 13 years for work mostly never a problem.. last couple of years uses a Tablet so laptop is in junk room My very expensive Sony Laptop lasted 14 years, so thinks the Acer did very well. Myself have a Acer Curved 32" Monitor a good few years also still perfect

Red Meat eating is not related to Diabetic problems but CHD as is no dairy products red meat intake is associated with increased risk for progression of CKD. Diets high in animal protein from meats and dairy products can cause kidney damage because they can be very hard to metabolize. This places a heavy burden on the kidneys, making it hard for them to eliminate waste products. a older UK friend Diabetic followed for many years the Atkins diet = lots of meat and fat, made me sick looking at what he ate, but it appeared to work for him [lived most of my life overseas so mostly ate the Mediterranean diet]

trying to follow a health lifestyle gets confusing Diabetic since Feb 1991 [at that time Dr said I could have been diabetic for many years before this] as very high BS + very high BP So so control on healthy lifestyle + Med's for years 2015 very bad = ER - outcome was Stage 5 CKD. worked hard on lifestyle change No Salt, No Red Meat No Diet drinks = down to between stage 2 and 3 for a few years about October last year things not right, Dr added Vitamins of all kinds... Last Friday not good on my normal 90 day Dr Visit, Low BP + Low BS + Stage 4 CKD ! extra blood tests ordered = will get full result this Friday [Little Village Hospital so for extra test blood must go to big Hospital] Low Red Blood Cell Count !! appears healthily eating not correct ? looking on web eat more Red Meat ?? the odd thing is Dr said do not take any more Vitamin B12, yet web shows many different places and Countries to increases Vitamin B12 ?? gets confusing Dr also told me to drink a glass of milk a day.... years ago told no dairy products !!

Thanks Yes about 4 years ago at a Hospital was told about 300k to start + around 300k per year for ongoing supplies So guess while still able will finger prick + do my own 2 twice daily Insulin injection, there are 2 old people in the Village that cannot manage to self inject, the one man 95 his Son goes there every day, the Son and Grandson both Diabetic, the other Lady in her 80s the daughter moved into the house about 4 years ago so she is looked after 24/7 as well as is another Daughter living there [in wheelchair] also cannot manage, the Injections

Still cannot work out what these are.. Just automatic blood testing only ? or are they AID systems, also known as hybrid closed loop systems, can detect changes in a person’s sugar levels in real time and automatically adjust insulin doses in response. ? last time I asked here in Thailand they were very expensive + the on going cost every 10 - 14 days

frequent urination, like running to toilet all the time, rarely making it an hour in-between, even during the night, been there but is good = kidney's are working and flushing out the bad stuff, worrying is a small amount 2 or 3 times a day, last hospital visit had gone from stage 2 to stage 4 CKD, WHY have no idea, last time this happened was 2015, went to stage 5 CKD and could not pee at all. in Hospital 5 days, still keep to same diet No Salt, No diet drinks, only drink water, Red Meat no more than 2 x week.. would love to go back to running to toilet all the time,

Not all Diabetes are the same I know a good few Thai Diabetics, very few are over weight, some are so thin stick men and woman and still use insulin every day, think maybe there not that many type 2, or not that I know

So many things a small Village Hospital do not stock, wonder if the Dr remembers what they wrote to get from a Pharmacy outside + NO record on Hospital file Dr said get from a Pharmacy outside as Hospital no have ‘Dermatix’ wound care cream + cover with DuoDERM patch.. {appear to have Allage to glue on Patches ?} Have also tried 3M waterproof patches as much cheaper still have problem with the glue Also from Pharmacy out as Hospital no have Antibiotics [non Penicillin]

Has been well under control for years a few posts ago clearly states insulin 70/30 Mix 30 units Breakfast. + 20 units Evening Meal Adjust dosage according to blood test reading….. Metformine 850 mg 1 x Breakfast. + 1 x Evening Meal Diabetic Lada since 1991 --------- CKD since 2015

Near Sai Noi, use since Covid Sai Noi Hospital. The Dr I normal see said she is moving on, she did ask if I want the April Appointment or go back to BKK Red Cross..so this next Visit will be another Dr.. Biggest problem is the very limited stock they hold.... they do have Computers now and my Prescription, many pill I have I have to cut in halve as they only stock one type and MGs... The other problem is if I need something they do not have the Dr writes it on a bit of paper to take to a outside Pharmacy.. That is good, but of course it is NOT in the Computer or on Hospital Files. = will take all meds to New Dr.. The Red Cross Hospital = 5 outside patients per day the rest if IN + ward patients San Noi Hospital see 30 - 50 per day, how can a Dr remember what she asked me to get form a outside Pharmacy 90 days before. So will see this New Dr next week, then think about the very long trip back again to Red Cross.

Yes will do thank you Something no idea about Since 2020 + changing to local Village Hospital my meds have been changed a lot + get given more and more Vitamins is this needed + could this be a problem ? Present Dr Prescription + issued by Hospital Pharmacy Insulin 70/30 Mix 30 units Breakfast. + 20 units Evening Meal Adjust dosage according to blood test reading…..

No it is on my higher back Shoulder blade high Did have one at the base of my spine in my 20's, had to have it drained in Hospital then a week or so only sit on a donut cushion

tried that. take 5 days Antibiotic + change the dressing every day should be gone within 7 - 10 days.. oddly every 90 day Diabetic Appointment the Dr always want to look to see if it has healed , but after so long [18 months next week] cannot work out why there is not another option..

Yes

\ Need help, suggestions Please? Maybe start at the beginning, as a kid maybe 8 had what was called a back boil, my Mother would mix bread and warm water put in a cloth on my back, every day, months later went to the Hospital, forget what they did but ended up with a deep black hole.. All my life had that hole deep and black about the size of a 2 baht coin but no problems About 3 years ago started to get puss + blood coming out 2 or 3 times a week, for the last year or so every single day.. have seen 5 different Dr’s both at Government Hospital and at a Private Hospital… All appear the same answer, it is a abscess go to A&E and get it dressed every day… the Private Hospital gave me Antibiotics {cannot take Penicillin] Government Hospital no not sell only have Penicillin, so must go to Pharmacy… again get it dressed every day, problem with this the tape is no good at the Hospital and falls off within 1 hour. = blood/Puss on shirt and bedding.. 6 months ago the Dr gave me a few 1lt bottles of ‘Sodium Chlorine irrigation’ fluid to clean the wound every day + get from a Pharmacy and use ‘Dermatix’ wound care cream + cover with DuoDERM patch.. Appears nothing works + 5 lots of Antibiotics + 1,000s of baht of creams and dressings = Blood every day Tried searching abscess on the Web but all appears for a few days or a week or so, not for daily problems for years ! Got to see a Dr again next week [my 90 day appointment] anyone any idea what to ask ??? Sick of different Drs looking then saying the same thing.

back in the 1950's cars with big grills were called Glamorous Grilles

So true, Maybe every person going to a Dr or Hospital should have a blood test ? maybe more are these days = record numbers of so say new cases ? Myself 1991 visited the Dr on a number of occasions + had a Opp in Hospital 3 day stay, about a month later visited the Dr about a different ongoing matter, one look said I had advanced yeast infection so test were done, yep I was Diabetic, likely been so for years. Back then did not know anything about Diabetes, these days more people are aware of it as are Dr's so run checks

When I lived in Germany went to a Dentist his surgery was at his home in Berlin, you really have no idea what they do, years later had a problem in the same area, another Country the Dentist was shocked, the German Dentist had drilled and filled all 4 back lower teeth as one so impossible to repair just one,. so lost 4 teeth in one go.
