  • Oura Ring

    Following on with the SWT posts, a health-tracking smart ring. As with most other SWTs, it’s described as a “holistic health tool.”, this product was originally released in 2015, and was a great introduction to the SWT market. The concept was design to track your sleep, activity, and recovery, delivering personalised health insights through its companion app.

    The company’s latest product, the Oura Ring 4, expands on the Gen3 with more advanced tools for tracking and understanding your wellbeing.

    Like all other SWT products that have been featured before in this blog,  your tracks health which includes sleep activity and recovery,meanwhile personalise all data that has been collected.

    Overall, while this addition to the SWT market offers familiar features, the SWT sector really needs a more creative, innovative, and distinctive contribution. It is expected that it will still stay true to the brand’s identity.

  • Diabetes

    If you didn’t already, I’m type 1 diabetic. This means my body doesn’t produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone which takes sugar out of your blood & turns it into Emery.

    There are 2 types of diabetes, very creatively named; type 1(you tend to develop it as a child,& are born with a high chance of developing it) & type 2(you develop it in later life, because you’ve overworked your pancreas in your younger years).

    Im not in America, but in the US population overall, they established for 2018 there was: 34.2 million people of all ages—or 10.5% of the US population who had some form of diabetes.

    So I have to balance my foot intake with my insulin (which I inject)

    If you exercise, it effects your BG (blood glucose) because it uses up energy. My diabetes determines the ratio of how much insulin I need for what foods & drink, & when.

    diabetics are hyper sensitive about their BG. It’s common, you probably know one.

    As there’s such a big proportion of diabetics, I will share in future posts some diabetic friendly recipes which I like, that are good even if you’re not diabetic.

  • Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy

    That is when your heart (& brain) get a severe pummelling (like morning a death one or the break up of a relationship). Your heart turns into the shape of a takotsubo which is a pot famously Japanese, which has a narrow neck but it’s wider in the midsection.

    Takotsubo Cardiomyopathyotherwise is otherwise known as broken heart syndrome.

    I guess it’s really true that you can die of having a broken heart.
