Well, I try to go and walk to the park to see the beautiful flowers and, you know, to keep my walking 10,000 steps every day. That's what I do for spring. I love flowers, that's all I do, and then maybe go to this community, if there is a community that I can go, I will go to have more ideas to get regarding my diabetes. The community gives me good ideas going to the community and talk to other people. And it helps you as well to forget a stressful life. And if you think of previous springs in the last few years, are there any resolutions you've made that have been successful? Oh yeah, it's about my healthy diet and the portion of my diet, it helps me a lot, reducing my carbohydrate. Because in the family, not here, back home, I have loads of, almost all my sister died with diabetes because she had a heart problem, she is very stubborn, she thinks she doesn't have diabetes. And then my nieces and nephews, suddenly my other nephew just passed away because she doesn't, he doesn't have the knowledge about diabetes. Which I keep telling him to go to the GP, get an advice, but because it's not like here, money is one problem. So he didn't go, he when he went, he didn't make, he didn't go home anymore. And how do you feel an online community, a community on the internet for people with diabetes would help you to prepare in these spring months? I think online diabetes community is good because it doesn't make you go out but still you have people to talk to through the online and gain more knowledge about to control our diabetes. Okay and we're just going to give you a piece of paper to have a look at some behaviors and characteristics for instance diet activity and and communicating with your healthcare professional.
