Its Christmas Eve! Have you already bought gifts for your loved ones? I know I have! Especially for my little precious princess who is already 1 year plus and has been capturing my heart every single time I lay my eyes on her. 

At first I was considering toys for her but then I realized she is more feminine than me combined and she is truly a work of art! She loves sitting infront of the mirror and looking at herself and pretending to put skincare on whilst combing her baby hair that is slowly taking its time to grow out.

That's why this time I gotten her Madammoselle collection of hair accessories for my daughter and also for me so that we can put them on together. At first I was wondering where to locate cute adorable hair accessories for her and also for myself. Because I want to also see the quality as well! Because of that I decided to check out Madammoselle for its full range of hair accessories and they also have them in physical retails and one of them I spotted was at Tesco hypermarket at the clothing sections. I love Madammoselle brand identity because their brand's DNA is to empower female to look and feel their best! Even in the simplest hairstyle like a ponytail can make a whole lot of difference subject to individual style and preferences. Another reason is, they have a huge collection that you would wanna splurge on a variety of choices that can last for long term!

So I splurged on these because they are affordable, of good quality and comfort, most importantly, I can wear it in style with my daughter anytime we want! So today, allow my daughter to model the beautiful collection as she also loves it on herself as well. Hence the kiss she gave herself in the mirror (hahaha)!!

I think this will make a perfect gift for all the ladies and lil ladies out there! The best gift for best friends to match and pair with, a lovely collection your girlfriend will adore, the best gift a mother and daughter can down with it today! So head on to your nearest Tesco outlets now and style up just in time for the countdown tonight for Christmas tomorrow with your precious loved ones!

It's so easy that you get to enjoy all these amazing food right at your doorstep! 

So recently, I explored Glucerna after seeing reviews over it and decided to see what it is all about. Because my mom has type 2 diabetes and it was difficult having to see her not being able to enjoy food, especially Malaysian food. I'm sure many of you can relate. But it is not just my mom, a pretty fascinating fact is every 1 in 5 Malaysians are affected by diabetes since a survey was done in 2019. In fact obesity is also in every 1 in 2 Malaysians! 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Due to COVID-19, people with diabetes experience fear and suffering because

1. They have increased risk of severe disease and death when infected with COVID-19

2. Delay in diagnosis may result in more advanced disease and complications

3. Delayed, incomplete, interrupted treatment

So why do I mention obesity? Because high body fat leads to many and every health complications! Ever heard your doctor telling you to watch what you eat or to lose some weight if you wanna be or feel better? But do you know that even the doctor feels it is impossible for you to lose weight, because if it was possible, such an issue won't even occur in the first place right and you wouldn't even end up visiting them in the first place too right? This is why we need to take care of ourselves. And then there are some who are genetically at higher risk of getting Diabetes, if you look up on type 1 and type 2 diabetes, there's a difference. 

Professor Dr Winnie Chee from the department of nutrition & dietetics, International Medical University mentioned that stress can affect diabetes control, therefore managing the emotional and psychological state is as important as managing glucose readings. “People with diabetes are often burdened by many aspects of self-care, particularly dietary choices. Knowing the ‘right’ foods to eat that will not raise their blood sugar is a formidable challenge for most individuals. Diet control plays a key role in managing diabetes and delaying complications, hence a multidisciplinary healthcare team which includes a dietitian can assist people with diabetes in learning how to eat well with less stress and better manage their diabetes.” 

This is why I took up this be in control in 4 weeks with Glucerna to see the effect of this. Because a good meal needs to be properly sufficient with good nutrients and well balanced diet and lifestyle together. That being said, many milk products out there contains high sugar content that is not supportive of the diabetic patients in malaysia at all. 

1. The new Glucerna® offers a new and improved Low Glycaemic Carbohydrate System to help manage blood sugar, where special carbohydrates that are digested relatively slowly release glucose over a longer length of the gastrointestinal tract than simpler forms of carbohydrates, thus helping to improve post-meal glycaemic response.
2. The new Glucerna® has 4X Higher Myo-inositol as compared to the previous version of Glucerna®. Scientific studies have shown that myo-inositol helps to improve insulin sensitivity, leading to better glucose control
3. Its dual fibre blend of soluble fibres (Fibersol-2 and FOS) and insoluble fibre (oat fibre) helps promote growth of good bacteria and helps maintain a healthy digestive system.
4. It has a unique lipid blend containing Omega-3, Omega-6 & Omega-9 (monounsaturated fatty acid) and is low in cholesterol to support heart health.
5. The new Glucerna® has 28 vitamins and minerals, including increased vitamin D, calcium, zinc and iron to help meet the nutritional needs of people with diabetes.
6. It contains 35% higher folic acid and 56% higher iron (New Glucerna® Vanilla vs previous version of Glucerna® Vanilla) to help meet the increased needs of women during pregnancy, making it suitable for women with gestational diabetes.
7. Glucerna® can be incorporated into a well-balanced diet as part of a diabetes management plan. 
8. In a study  where 1-2 servings of Glucerna® are taken daily within a lifestyle intervention that included a structured lifestyle plan (with energy intake recommendations, education, exercise and motivational interviews), participants achieved reduced HbA1c by 1.1% from the baseline in 6 months.
9. Glucerna® starts working from Day 1 of consumption, with research showing that post-meal glucose levels after taking Glucerna® was significantly lower than after taking oatmeal of a similar caloric level.


With the above being said, I would say that monitoring my moms progress on the Glucerna definitely I do see a good support that can be incorporate into the lifestyles of those with diabetes. Most important, it doesn't taste too sweet. Therefore, I can conclude that with a good happy lifestyle of well-balance body movement activity like home workouts, tai-chi, yoga and online exercise routines to follow easily from home, a well-balanced meal of good portions that suits your body, paired with healthier choice of cooking methods and supplements that are clinically studied and is measurable to improve health, most importantly approved by KKM; And paired with Glucerna, you are definitely on a better path to a healthier lifestyle. A balance of everything in moderation. 

Additional info to take note :
● The new Glucerna® is suitable for individuals with pre-diabetes, diabetes and gestational diabetes.
● People with diabetes can incorporate 1-2 servings of Glucerna® as a low calorie meal replacement or a healthy snack alternative to support diabetes management, depending on criteria such as BMI, glycaemic control and nutritional needs, as advised by a healthcare professional.
● The new Glucerna® is available in 3 delicious flavours – vanilla, chocolate and wheat.
● The new Glucerna® is halal-certified.
● The new Glucerna® contains dairy protein (calcium caseinate and milk protein concentrate) and vitamin D3 from lanolin, and is thus suitable for vegetarians who consume dairy products.
● Each serving of Glucerna® Vanilla and Wheat provides 228 kcal of energy, Glucerna® Chocolate provides 226 kcal. When used as a meal replacement, may help to reduce total calorie intake, thus supporting weight management.
● However, consumption of Glucerna® without making any calorie adjustments or increasing physical activity level may lead to weight gain due to total energy intake exceeding total energy expenditure.

UNDERWEIGHT: BMI <18kg/m2

● 2 SERVINGS A DAY TO SUPPLEMENT DIET

Eg. morning snack and supper supplement

NORMAL WEIGHT: BMI 18 — 23kg/m2

● 1 SERVING A DAY AS PARTIAL MEAL REPLACEMENT

Eg. breakfast supplement
