Diabetic Class in Guatemala City

Sandra, Sheyla and I went to Guatemala City today to finish the Diabetic Class.  Sheyla, is Sandra's friend and she has been here in the highlands for a week.

Today, was a smaller class than before.  I understand that people have a lot going on this time of year.

Margot, the lady that helped plan the classes, told us today about a gentleman that she knows who has diabetes.  His blood sugars are not controlled and he eats 30 tortillas a day......plus a lot of other carbohydrates. He has had a lot of trouble with his vision and it is very difficult for him to walk. After our class last month, she talked to him about his diet. She showed him the sheet that we use.

When she was telling us about the changes in him, she still gets chills.  The man's vision has greatly improved and his blood sugars are more controlled.

This was our class today. Since it was a small class, we were able to review the other two classes and answer more questions that people had time to think about.

After the class, I made my way to Antigua.  The traffic was bad so I arrived an hour later than I normally do.

I made an appointment for a massage and then enjoyed dinner. I ate at one of my favorite restaurants and had pizza.

There were fireworks tonight and this is one view from my room.

It will be good to have a relaxing weekend.
