Good day Marisa and Dennis. I am a type 2 diabetic and a retired nurse from California born , raised and educated. The last vlog, Marisa you expressed your concern regarding what food to prepare for Dennis. For type 2 diabetics, the best way to manage diet is counting carbohydrates per meal. You can probably google carbohydrates for men vs women. An example would be slice of bread; usually for men carbo intake is 30g for each meal. Depending on type of bread carbo can be anywhere from 15g-20g. So one piece is all Dennis can have. You can put a small pat of butter. I know he loves scrambled eggs. Instead of cooking in butter use a non stick spay. I know he loves sals . That’s fine but look at the carbo per serving. You need to add that to the 30g per meal. Remember to give snacks between meals. An example would be string cheese with veggie sticks, or a 1/4c of fruit shake(look up a recipe for low carb) For our age population mid 60’s + you don’t want too low blood sugar either like a young 20-30 y/o. The next time they check Dennis’ blood sugar, they should do A1c. If his A1c is less than 7 that is good. Check his blood sugar after meals 1hour. If it’s 140’s to 150’s that’s good. Also check fasting blood sugar. Keep it at high 90’s loo 100’s/ I hope this helps. 😊
Marrisa l,m so happy that you still care for Ming while you are busy taking care of Dennis. We have two cats too and we loved them like you do, May God bless you all and Merry Christmas.
Awesome news that Mariben is feeling better and Dennis is resting wow I remember the cookies you guys receive for Christmas my mom would have the same cookies too Take Care everyone
Dennis definatly nees to rest but he should get up once in awhile and walk around in the house, if he lays down for to long fluid can build up in his lungs, then back to the hospital...
It's best not to be stubborn. Maribbean should just go to the doctor. Catch things before they get worse not treat them after its worse. Never play with your health.
Marissa if you are able to find Almond milk to use instead of regular milk, Mister Denise might enjoy it . Almond milk has little carbs and of course you get the one with no sugar. Best wishes to all.
My son just tested positive for Covid . It’s still here and there but no need for panic . The common cold is a kind of Covid .thanks again for your videos !
Congratulations Anabelle!!! From your #1 Fan-boy!!! While I can't send a gift for you all, My Prayers & Holiday Wishes to you all!!! Merry Christmas to my favorite Family in PI!!!
Not all doctors are the same, even with the best hospital here in America 🇺🇸. Some do it for the money, some it’s just a job. The best are one that cares and enjoys treating and patients. Take care and get well soon Mariben 😘😍🥰
Glad to see everyone back at the homestead. You all appear to be in good spirits which is nice to see. Congratulations to Annabelle for passing the Board Exams!! It seems like forever since I've seen the Ming and Marites. My goodness. Good to see you Ming! Good to see you Marites! Stay healthy everyone and be sure to take time for some well-deserved naps. See you all tomorrow.
Praise God, Praise God Dennis is home. Now he really need to rest. Also follow his diet per MD orders. You need to rest and Maribeen. Have a blessed evening ✨️.
Hello. This is my first ever comment. I will try to catch up on all your videos as my time permits. Your channel seems to be family oriented and something my children can watch, without me worrying about profanity and vulgar content. My well wishes sent to you all. Prayers that Dennis will continue to improve, as well as your sister Mariben.
I love those containers, I keep rice in them. Congratulations Annabelle 😊 your mom looks more like a sister than your mom😊 Get rested Dennis. Mariben stay well ❤😊
Dennis doesn’t need the toast (carbs) with jam (pure sugar). Marissa he needs to lose weight and to do that no sugar, very limited carbs and start walking. Walk even if it’s only 50 feet to start just increase the distance a little at a time. All the extra weight isn’t good for his heart. Take care of him and you too.
Perfect. Write everything down that you eat. You eat at the same time every day and small meals even if it's 6 meals a day. Very small meals is what you eat is important. Try not to eat carbs a little bit at a time..... No cereal... Things will get there takes time.😮😮enjoy
Sounds like a thrift club save all year with a little money and at the end of the year (Christmas time🎄) withdraw the money and you have money for Christmas 🎁
Marissa lots of colds going around here to you need slow down a little do not get yourself work up or you end up have having a heart attack so take your time please say to mariben she looking little better now from her cold

2nd Like for the show
Nice with butter on
Chicken noodle soup for Mariben.
Mariben, I wasn't sure if you tested yourself for COVID?
i have said you need to take vitamin d at least 3000 iu,s a day boost your immune system
Dennis doesn’t need the toast (carbs) with jam (pure sugar). Marissa he needs to lose weight and to do that no sugar, very limited carbs and start walking. Walk even if it’s only 50 feet to start just increase the distance a little at a time. All the extra weight isn’t good for his heart. Take care of him and you too.

is she driving yet👍👍👍👍
Medicine expensive there for sure not count Dennis regular medicine
Mariben when are going to get a driver's license ? And would like a van so you sell cooked food when i see your cooked food looks good
Don’t you have a medical plan? It still cheaper in Philippines then USA
Sounds like a thrift club save all year with a little money and at the end of the year (Christmas time🎄) withdraw the money and you have money for Christmas 🎁
Yay Ming the Star!
☺❤👍
👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Since you are telling your audience about medicine costs why don't you give us a breakdown on Dennis hospital stay.
