I have been looking for a chart that has blood sugar levels. At each level there's a drawing, let's say a smile is on one level witch measures 6.2, but another drawing as a frown with the blood sugar level at 4.0.this scale of different level with a drawing filla in a sheet of 8.5 by 11 inches. this is a very good scale for everyone especially children. Thank You
actually diabetic is incured disease,but here at hyderabad POSITIVE HOMEOPATHY LAUNCHES DIABETIC CELL,THEY SAID TO ALL OF THE PATIENTS DIABETIC MUST CURED AFTER 4YRS,AND COLLECT THE PACKAGE MONEY FOR FOUR YEARS 40000/ LIKE THAT,BUT ALL VIEWERS THINK THAT,DIABETIC IS NOT A CURABLE DISEASE,DONT UNDER THEIR TRAP,IF THEY REALLY CURED THE DIABETIS ASKED THE GUARENTEE CERTIFICATE,OTHERWISE DONT GO THAT SIDE
ALL DISEASES CAN BE CURED, ONLY THING IS, WE ARE STILL INCAPABLE TO FIND THE CORRECT METHOD TO CURE. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO CURE DISEASES, THEN OUR BASIC CONCEPT OF CAUSE OF DISEASES IF WRONG. ONCE OUR CONCEPT OF CAUSE OF DISEASE IS CORRECT WE AUTOMATICALLY GET THE WAYS TO CURE. THINK DEEPLY TO UNDERSTAND THESE WORDS.
