Health Check on the Hoof

A hypochondriac writes.............

Last week I was offered a blood sugar test by a friend called Phil whose pancreas has stopped working. So today in Whitchurch Golf Club I had my blood sugar levels tested while the coffee and bacon sandwiches were on the way. First of all you have to supply blood. Phil has this little device that stabs your finger.

You then squeeze injured finger to get blood to appear. Phil then places a fancy digital gadget onto the blood. The blood is then analysed and outcomes a digital read out of 5.4 which Phil says is fine.

The reading should be between 5 and 7.

So we can cross off Type II diabetes from list of possible ailments I might have................
