Acupuncture 2nd treatment 5/17/2018

Today I had my 2nd acupuncture treatment.

As the same as last time, the acupuncturist checked my pulse and tongue. She found some progress in my pulse. Especially my kidney got stronger than last time. She could not see any progress in my tongue. She said tongue usually takes time to show any progress. At least, I was happy for the progress in my kidney showed in my pulse.

This time I didn’t get emotional at all. I just felt relaxed. My one hour appointment went by so quickly.  

My acupuncturist prescribed me an herbal tea for blood sugar. I will take this tea during meal three times a day. It is a product of China. The details are written in Chinese, and I don’t know exactly what ingredient is contained.

After my acupuncture treatment, I had an appointment of get-together with my friend at the local Starbucks. My friend brought a Triple Mocha Frappuccino to me. It used to be my favorite. Maybe she remembered my favorite and didn’t know my diabetes condition. It looked delicious. But I had to turn down her kind offer.

Since my first acupuncture treatment of May 2nd, I have completely stopped having coffee. I also have avoided taking any kind of produced sugar as much as I can.

I didn’t want to make the same mistake that I made at the recent birthday party. When I was invited to a birthday party, I was offered a can of coke and some slices of pizza. I naturally took them. That caused my blood sugar spiked up over 400, and I regretted about my action.

Today, I didn’t yield in taking Frappuccino. I am proud of myself for having being strong. The Frappuccino contains coffee, whip cream, sugar, and chocolate. I cannot risk my health.

Any feedback? (^^♪
