Q: You and your doctor will make a plan for how often and at what times you should use your glucometer to check your blood sugar. Sometimes this should be done three times every day. It might be hard to remember this, especially at first, but creating a system to help you remember can get you into the habit. Make a log that you have to check off for morning, afternoon, and evening. Put it on your refrigerator or bathroom mirror somewhere that you look often throughout the day. Check off the boxes as you go. Be creative. Try keeping three small stones in your right pocket. As you do a reading, move a stone to your left pocket. By the end of the day you should have all stones in your left pocket. This can be a tangible reminder to do your readings. Come up with something that works for you! Some diabetic glucose meters will store the readings for you in their on-board memory. With others, you will have to write your results down. Make sure you note the day, time and type of reading. For instance, was the reading taken first thing in the morning? This is known as a fasting reading. Was it taken 2 hours after a meal? This is known as a 2-hour postprandial reading. Bring your glucometer with you every time you see the doctor who takes care of your diabetes. If it stores your results, they can access them directly. If your machine does not store your results, be sure to bring your written record with you. Bring your glucometer, as well, so your doctor can check to ensure it is working properly at every visit.
A: Create a system to help you remember to do your readings. Keep a record of your results. Bring your record to your doctor visits.

Q: If your mouth is stuck in a partially open position and you have significant pain underneath one or both ears, there's a good chance you have a dislocated jaw. Go to an emergency department right away, or call emergency services to get help. You might also notice indentations under one or both ears. You might be suffering from a fracture instead of a dislocation, or it's possible to experience both, but you need rapid medical attention in any case. The pain of the dislocation and the weight of the detached jaw may strain your ligaments and make the surrounding muscles begin to spasm. Immobilizing and supporting the weight of your jaw can help reduce these impacts. Don't try to push your mouth closed with your hands. Just put them under your chin and try to support your jaw in place. A helper can also wrap an elastic bandage under your chin and over your head several times. However, don't put too much upward pressure on your jaw, and make sure you can quickly remove the bandage if the person needs to vomit due to the pain. You may drool, but you won't be able to swallow or drink anything. An untrained person is more likely to cause pain and damage than they are to repair the dislocated jaw. Wait for a medical professional to repair the jaw unless there is no other choicefor instance, if you're camping in the deep wilderness with a friend and the nearest help is a day's hike away. Stand behind the person with the dislocated jaw and make sure they keep their head straight and still. Put on gloves to reduce the chance of infection, and wrap gauze or fabric around your thumbs to protect them from unintentional biting due to pain. Make sure you can feel the joint so you can put the jaw back in place. Place your thumbs in the person's mouth, on their back molars, and wrap your hands around the sides of their chin. Press down gently with your arms while tilting the front of the chin slightly upward with your fingers. Then push the jaw back until you feel the ball pop back into the socket. Without proper anesthesia and sedation, this maneuver could be extremely painful for the person. It must be your last resort. Call for help whenever possible. Don't try to realign a jaw if there has been a severe accident since there also could be fractures.
A: Seek emergency medical assistance if you suspect a dislocated jaw. Support the jaw with your hands or an elastic bandage. Attempt to repair the dislocation only as a last resort.

Q: When the wait becomes unbearable, time can feel like an enemy. However, it is the best resource you have to make the wait worthwhile: manage it wisely and invest it in fruitful activities that can help you reach your goal. Although we have no control over the passing of time, we can organize it. Sticking to a timetable, making short-term plans and setting deadlines can help you manage your time and turn it into your ally. Not all of your time should be devoted to reaching your goal. Wise time management also calls for taking breaks. If you don't allow yourself some leisure time, you could become frustrated or drain all your energy for no reason. . Patience is an art that takes skills and practice. It means realizing that time is unpredictable and we don't get what we want when we want it. , as well as coming to terms with the fact that some things can be changed while others can't. Impatience stems from a feeling of impotence, of not being able to change the way things are. Realizing that there are things you can act upon and that the direction that your life takes is first of all determined by your decisions is important to have a more active approach and feel you're still in the driver's seat. For example, in order to find a job as a journalist you might send out thousands of resumes without much luck. However, focusing on other things you can do to achieve your goal, like writing as a volunteer for your college bulletin or attending workshops, can turn your wait into a time actively invested in useful activities and make it more tolerable. Devoting some time during the week to physical exercise and relaxation techniques can help you release stress and increase your level of patience. Not making progress can have its benefits. It is natural for some periods of time to be devoted to rest instead of activity. Recharging you batteries is necessary to get back in full shape. Just like how we get what we want can be unpredictable, inactivity does not always happen according to our plans. For example, if you suddenly find yourself unemployed, don't see this period as a waste of time or feel guilty about it. You can make it useful by pursuing what you really want to do and enjoying the benefits of having more time to yourself. You might think that, if you're not getting what you want, all is wrong with your life. Thinking of all you have already accomplished will put things into perspective and make you realize your life has gone down unpredictable paths before. What you now take for granted was also achieved through patience and perseverance. You can keep a gratitude journal where you actively list the things and reasons you should be grateful for. Make sure you always have something to look forward to. Whether it be doing some cleaning or spending a night out with friends, some distraction will make the wait more tolerable. Getting fixated about your goal won't help you get it: it will take a toll on your energy and health. Keep in mind that, as much as it is important, distraction shouldn't be obsessive-compulsive. Spending half a day each day mopping the floor in order to forget you don't have the job of your life will just as well affect your energy and health. Having a positive outlook on life will also boost your patience. Optimism is an extremely good fuel: being energetic and proactive will also help you get what you want faster. Even in this case, thinking back on your past achievements and appreciating what you already have is a good way to look on the bright side of the wait.
A: Learn to cooperate with time. Be patient Realize it's okay to be still sometimes. Be thankful for what you already have. Keep yourself busy. Stay optimistic.
