Just had my three month checkup and testing. ALL is well! My sugar level, cholesterol, blood pressure and urine sample are all absolutely fine. PTL I am really happy to always hear that kind of news.
About three weeks ago I went to the Emergency of our local hospital because I had some ongoing stomach pains for 3 - 4 days. I believed it was a reaction to Arthotec an anti-inflamatory drug for some pain I incur when I step out into the winter air. This has been a persistent problem for me - only happens when I breathe in cold air or when the air-conditioning in the car is turned up too much.
Anyway, I stopped the medication and when the hospital x-rayed my chest area everything came up good - no structural or evident problems. I had to return the next day for an ultrasound to check out my stomach. Results all is well in the stomach - got referred to gastro specialist for further confirmation - could be a bacteria but blood test will most likely confirm none! The stomach pain however had subsided by the second day after my x-ray and 5 days after it started. Now I have no stomach pain. And as I said my diabetic checkup and tests were all good.

Functional Exercises for almost Everyone
Training for everyday life. Since so many, many people have a sedentary life this is a way for people to get active with an aim in mind. That is to effectively do everyday type of tasks plus some not so frequent tasks without causing injury to self.
For example, taking out a bag of groceries from the car trunk can put some people's back out. Or how about lifting an unusually heavy garbage to the curb. Maybe stretching to reach an item from the top shelf of a cupboard. These are sort of everyday tasks can can catch one off-guard and do some injury to oneself.
Then there are those infrequent, for many people, vacation or travelling trips with extra heavy suitcases that lifted incorrectly can strain muscles, tendons perhaps in some case even twist or break an ankle or wrist. Or maybe a trip to the hardware or lumber store to get some bulky item or heavy item - fine the store staff may help you to lift it into your vehicle but then when one arrives home and attempts to remove said item then the injury may occur. It happens! And it can affect any age if a person is unaccustomed to such tasks.
So the recommendation is to do some core and functional exercises which means it involves a number of muscles being trained in an easy way with the aim of making our bodies more prepared for these everyday or sometime infrequent tasks. Some people may go to a gym to have this training done but others may find that with the right trainer or training program they can do these functional exercises at home.
Here is a video I came across on Youtube demonstrating functional exercises that two guys were doing outdoors.
