Testimonial ~ Diabetes with severe wound
FIRSTLY , please don’t get bored and hang on with me for few seconds. The title didn’t do enough justice to the content. Urmm…well I have quite many testimonials for diabetes already and I totally understand if you guys going to say…“yawn..just another diabetes testimonial” upon reading the title of this entry.
but WAIT! this ain’t just another diabetes testimonial as this time around I have a before and after picture of diabetes wound. Yes, I think many of us know that diabetes patient is very sensitive to wound. For example even an ant’s bite can cost a serious injury. No joke.
SECONDLY, since I need to abide to company policy and regulations hence I will not mention brand of the products that have been used but perhaps I will just name it “the brand”, but to those who has followed my blog for quite sometimes, I think it will take no time for you to figure it out..wink 
THIRDLY..hmmm…ok there’s no third.
This is a story of Mak Z. She used to babysit my mother in law when my MIL was a kid. Few months back my family went to visit her and they were quite shocked to see condition of Mak Z, particularly her legs. She’s having diabetes wound on both of her legs and my MIL was so worried and concern about it so she decided to order a set of “the brand” supplement from me to give to Mak Z.
To be honest, I didn’t put much hopes for Mak Z to gets better as judging from the wound, I could say it was pretty severe, however optimist I still….
Here is a picture of both of her feet 2 months before taking “the brand” supplement.
- skin is cracking and tearing apart for the entire feet up to the calves
- you can see some open wound and flesh too
- some bleeding can be spotted at certain areas
And here how it looks like after consuming “the brand” supplement.
Sorry the lighting was too dim. I should not use the chandelier lights for photography. Big NO-NO. Hahaha. [bijak sangat gi guna chandeliar dah la jadi kuning emas semacam..]
Photo was taken yesterday. Mak Z came to our house to get new supplies of “the brand” supplement.
- skin is starting to cover up the open flesh and wounds
- less noticeable skin cracks
- some wounds are showing great improvement in healing
- Mak Z also mentioned that she was actually had a breathing problem especially at night before, but now it seemed that the breathing problem has gone away after consuming “the brand” products.
Ok here’s the thing, products claim or whatsoever is prohibited. I came to know about it quite recently that products claim is actually against the RDA rules or something lah, I can’t remember the teeny weeny details but as far as I concern products claim is outlawed and it is applicable to all brands [not only to "the brand" yer..to anyyyy brands] even though it’s proven working and does wonders.
So, company rules and policy that has been set the way it is now, started to make sense. All these while I admit that I was a bit furious, but now….hmm still furious. Hahaha. Pening bebbbb. I was thinking to set the entry to private [already did for some previous entries], but then again what’s the point am writing it?
However, even though products claim is prohibited but no one can deny the fact that by taking good and high quality supplement [like "the brand"], we will experience a significant improvement in health, especially to those who had suffers diseases [any kind] for years.
Supplement is the safest and natural way to improve your health. I would always recommend ehemm…”the brand” [darnnnnn! I feel so awkward okay!! yerlah nk kene berkias-kias bagai walhal ramai yg dah tahu apa itu "the brand" sebenarnya...
{take deep long breath...and continue}
So, if you wanna know further about "the brand" [cisss, retard sungguh perasaan ini] , not only for diabetes but also for any other diseases or simply to maintain health, feel free to CONTACT me. I will be more than happy to assist you.
{gosh..this is soo wrong, but i just wanna say….}
“the brand” pon…”the brand” lahhhhhhh

Decent kampung style…
Oppss read this first : Finds out on how to win a cute dolphin fridge magnet cum bottle opener at the end of this entry. Enjoy reading!
Me wearing a cotton kurung with paisley motif in vibrant hue. Do I look like “nk pergi mengaji?” I like!
Let’s take a walk down memory lane awhile…I still remember when I was 15 years old, I used to attend KAFA class with my friend Suraya. There was one day when she came to the class wearing an exceptionally nice cotton “kurung”, I was certainly can’t take my eyes off her at that time as I envied her clothes so much, till…. I think I could cry wanting for the same kurung. Yeah you surely can’t imagine how bad I wanted for it.
Close up. Isn’t it lovely? Thanks to TextileShoppe!
What made Suraya’s “kurung” appeared so unique to me was because of the pattern, the pink flower design was remarkable pretty and none of my other friend during that time having similar motif for their kurung outfit. We are totally out of her league [I mean our kurung]. My kurung was keras, and I swear it can stand on it owns. Plus it made me appear as if I have swollen a whole lot of chicken I hate it so much, and the pattern was nothing I can proud of [bunga-bunga biasa sahaja] but I didn’t complain much because I know my mom can only afford to buy fabrics when it was on sale. Sob sob.
You can’t go wrong with cotton kurung. In fact it is so IN today. Oh btw, photo is featuring the slimmer version of me. Ehe. Still got few more kilos to shed. Alangkah slowww yerrrr. That’s quite normal, as when you are no longer “fat”, (I used to weigh 75kg during pregnancy! and that’s a record) the speed of losing weight will automatically slowing down. I still taking my Usana everyday, yes everyday except weekend. Pretty easy, just consume Usana Essentials [multivitamins] to regulate sugar blood, Usana Nutrimeal as meal replacement and Fibergy as snack drink to add more filling effect. Voila! Slimmer you!
Another designer cotton kurung from my decent personal collection
As I grow older my passion towards cotton fabrics never fade. Never. I still heart it and I always appreciate decent looks/style that cotton fabric creates. But now fret not! As I know where can I get those lovely prints of cotton fabric…yeah even better than Suraya’s! huhu. Am kinda obsess with designer cotton and at the moment I have 3 [yeah..3 only, but still I reckon it as an obsession..hehe] new kurung. Am thinking to make more cotton kurung so that I could wear it to the mosque during ramadhan month for terawih prayers. I plan to go for terawih but not sure who’s going to look after Ichiro then. Will see later how…hmm tapi I wanna go la like previous years.
I always adore Yasmin Ahmad films since she often portray Malay girls in most modest appearance. Yes, she chose cotton kurung over any other glam costume in her movie. At that point she actually manage to set a new standard to film in Malaysia..yes…to be more Malaysia for Malaysian. Sometimes we Malaysian need to be taught on how to be realistic uh? Take a look at these 2 posters of her movies. How pretty and lovely Sharifah Amani in cotton kurung [eventho I'm not quite agree with her dressing sometimes] and her adik Sharifah something…[I don't know her name, and plain lazy to google it] looks cute too in cotton kurung for the Mukhsin film poster. Siapa bilang gadis melayu tak menarik hati? Tiada memikat?

Cotton fabric is pretty cool as you can also make a craft creation using it. You know…cute things like tote bag, roll-up pencil or make-up casing, sling, nursing cover and etc. Or if you know how to sew, cotton fabric also make pretty kids clothing. Basically, what I could say, you can’t go wrong with cotton. Seriously. Sometimes less is more and one of many ways to reminiscence your childhood memory is through wearing clothing made of cotton You will surely feel young at heart again and smile blissfully whenever you look at the mirror. Ahh..those child memories even though it has been left so far behind, yet you feel like it soo close to you. Like it just happens yesterday. I can go on and on with this..haha.. so better stop berkhayal now.
I got some of my designer cotton from Etsy and some from TextileShoppe. But I think, kalau nk beli, better beli dekat textileshoppe lah, sbbnyer Etsy shipping took ages to arrive and boleh rasa mcm nk kene stroke tunggu sbb suspen. And my latest order from Etsy, tk sampai langsung…waaaaa [tapi bukan beli kain la..beli benda lain]. Rugi la..siot betul. Sekarang tgh tunggu insurance claim.
So, to those who wants to buy beautiful fabrics (especially cotton), make your way to textileshoppe.com (payment method – bank transfer) or textileshoppe.my1stop.com (payment method – bank transfer & credit card). I got one of my cotton fabric from TextileShoppe too (refer to first picture of this entry). Other than cotton, TextileShoppe carry many other type of fabrics such as silk, satin, korean silk, chiffon, crepe, jacquard and latest they also accepting pre-order for cotton materials.
Hari raya is only few months away and I guess it is about time for you to buy “kain ela” or “kain pasang” and get it send to tailor soonest possible. Save your time to scout for the fabrics by just browsing TextileShoppe online store, pick what you like, pay and just simply wait for it to arrive. Easy peasy!
Why do I recommend TextileShoppe? Here’s why…
- Store owner get her supply from everywhere across the globe especially during traveling. Hence, her stock is quite limited, rare and exclusive
- Under tight budget? Not to worry as textileshoppe.com also offer installment payment. Sweet! Boleh dapat further diskaun kalau beli banyak or regular customer pon sure boleh dpt diskaun.
- Owner of the shop adalah sgt friendly. Hehe. Besides, I think TextileShoppe price range is also quite cheap [without compromise on the quality] .
- Be the first to know about new stocks update and promotions. Register as a user of TextileShoppe website and subscribe to the newsletter.
- You can purchase as little as 0.5 metres! Just buy what you need.
- GOOD NEWS! Special for Mr & Mrs Imran blog readers, you guys can get 5% discount for your purchase by inserting promo code “mrsimran” in comment box during check out. Refer to example below;
- Another GOOD NEWS! there’s 5% discount promotion running at the moment until end of June. So, total discount that you may get by inserting “mrsimran” promo code and placing ur order before end of June is ideally 5% + 5%. Arghhh I am not that good with numbers and percentage so maybe you can just contact the seller to know further about discount. Just check the website first ok. Apa yg I tahu, bila ada promotion and discount meaning the goods are cheaper in price than usual. Kan?
Btw, I bought few souvenir from Tioman and would like to give it for free to my readers. In order to be fair to all, I would love to trade the souvenir with little favor from you guys ok. Here how it works, just simply leave your comment in the comment box and comment anything that related to this entry.

but do it within 48 hours, which means the contest will ends on 9th June, 12 midnight.
Lose the cravings. Lose the pounds
I seldom write entry for my blog during daytime. Usually, I will burn the candle and stay up till late night to update my blog. My priority goes to my son and Usana during daytime.
But, today is different. Ichiro went out with grandpa to the park and I got some “me” time now. While replying customers email, I think maybe I can update my blog now and sleep early tonight.
Wow, suddenly I am running out of idea what to blog despite last week I was hell suffocated when thinking about entries that are pending to be wrote and publish. But now, I can’t seem to think of any topic to write. Next time, I should jot it down. Must!
Since dah tkder idea, I think I wanna write about my diet progress. I weighed 50.5kg as 2 days ago. And I can now fit into all my old clothes [except jeans sbb tk cuba lagi]. My dream weight is 45kg or 46kg. Apparently, still got few miles to go.
Ada lebihan about 2-3 inches [rasanya]
Ni nampak jelas sket [abaikan bilik yg bersepah]
The white lace kebaya that I worn during aqiqah was already too baggy for me. Since, I don’t like to alter my baju-baju, I think I will just keep the baju instead for my next pregnancy. Seriously, I tk suka alter baju especially size. Kalau setakat panjang seluar nk potong sikit ok la, tapi kalau nk kecik or besarkan baju…hmm no thanks. I would prefer to keep the baju for future use or kasik jer kat saper-saper yg muat.

Front view [i still pegang baju dekat belakang, kasi betul2 fit]
Btw, speaking of diet and Usana, maybe I can include some frequent questions yg org dok tanya I about diet with Usana;
1) Kene pantang makan tak kalau amik Usana?
Tidak perlu. As long as consume Usana 2 kali sehari [utk ganti hidangan biasa] dan makan nasi seperti biasa dalam kuantiti yg tidak menyerupai sebuah bukit atau gunung, you are good to go already
2) RESET tu apa? Mesti kene buat ker RESET ni?
RESET ni program diet Usana, 5 hari on shake tanpa nasi utk reset badan dan cara pemakanan. Lepas 5 hari, badan akan rasa lebih ringan dan lebih berdedikasi kepada hari-hari yg mendatang utk diet. Selain tu, bagus utk detox dalam masa 5 hari ini. Buat tk buat terpulang kepada diri sendiri. Macam I, I tk buat. Hehe. Malas. I mesti nk reward myself dgn food sehari sekali. Hence I neglected the RESET program.
3) Mana lagi bagus Usana ker? HL ker? Jus Diet Mate 5 ker? SDII ker?
If u ask me, for sure la I jawab Usana. Hahaha. Ok la, honestly I rasa HL and Usana equally good. Sbb I dh try both. Taste wise I prefer Usana and kesenangan nk order online pon I prefer Usana. Sbb I can just log into Usana website and order. Dari segi berapa cepat turun berat, I rasa sama. Tapi, sometimes cepat or lambat ni lebih bergantung kepada seseorang individu dan disiplin yg tinggi. Utk brand lain I tk sure, I just get some input from my current customers yg dh pernah cuba the other brand but prefer to buy Usana then. Tapi kalau secara logik, semua pon elok. It’s all about preference. Kalau nak good result, kene lah usaha utk displin. Kalau tak disiplin amik la bapak meal replacement pon, kalau makan kuat, gemuk tetap gemuk ok.
4) Kalau tk amik Essentials, amik Nutrimeal and Fibergy jer boleh ker kurus?
Boleh. Tapi honestly I think Essentials will help you to lose weight at maximum speed. Bukankah itu yg anda mahu? Kurus dengan cepat? Essentials is indeed good to maintain health and strengthen immune system. The truth is kalau nk lagiiii bagus, advisable to consume Proflavanol 90 sekali. I consume all. Including Biomega and Coquinone.
5) Kalau stop amik Usana, gemuk balik tak?
Mesti la gemuk balik KALAU tk control your food intake. You are free to stop anytime. But, be sure to pick your food wisely. Kalau u pandai control what goes into your body, with Usana or not, slim you will be forever [intonasi mcm green jedi, master yoda]. To cut it short, Usana tkkan gemuk kan badan u kalau u stop consume it. Yg akan gemukkan badan kiter , adalah diri kita sendiri [tapi kalau amik pil diet yg tk sihat, mmg ada chance jugak naik berat mendadak lepas stop, sbb cara kurus yg tidak natural]
6) Boleh ker turun 60kg dalam masa seminggu/sebulan?
Mengarut. Tk boleh. Kalau boleh pon, I tanak. Bayangkan anda adalah belon. Bila belon tu kuncup secara berdesup, belon itu akan kendur dan mengeleber, betulkan? Bayangkan…… Paling normal about 2-3kg la in a month.
7) Mrs Imran kenapa I consume Usana, I mcm pening2 and muntah?
“Most probably” because too many toxin berkarat dalam badan. Usana is cell nutrition, so it’s kinda normal utk beginner akan rasa cam funny sket. Tummy mungkin akan upset sket, kepala pening and muntah. Adalah 2-3 org my customer yg experience such reaction, tapi temporary sahaja. After 2-3 days back to normal.
Kalau breastfeeding boleh consume shake Usana?
Boleh mmg boleh, tapi utk tujuan diet and nk kuruskan badan I tk galakkan kalau u fully breastfeed your child. Sbb normally kalau diet or puasa, secara automatik susu badan juga akan kurang, so that’s why I tk galakkan. Tapi kalau u jenis yg puasa or diet mcm mana pon, susu tetap melimpah ruah, then why not kan amik Usana.
9) Boleh ker campur Nutrimeal and Fibergy? I baca dekat forum ada distributor tu kata tk boleh. Dia kata ada pakar pemakanan nasihatkan jgn campur.
Hmmm…I tk sure la pakar pemakanan mana yg nasihat tu, tapi I dh check dgn Usana punye nutritinonist dia kata mmg boleh [rujuk email di bawah] By the way, nobody told me to mix the Nutrimeal and Fibergy. I came out with the idea myself. Sbb dari pemikiran I, Nutrimeal and Fibergy adalah food component. Kenapa pula tk boleh campur eh?
Cuba bayangkan u makan nasi goreng paprik, letak kuah tomyam, letak papadom, tambah telur mata kerbau…tidak kah itu mix namanya? Nutrimeal dan Fibergy tu adalah makanan. As simple as that.
Thank you very much for your Email.
Indeed, Nutrimeal and Fibergy are “healthy food”.
Yes, it is perfectly okay to mix Nutrimeal with Fibergy if you wish.
It is true, you can feel more filling with more fiber in your meal.
Well done !! Mrs. Imran,Have a wonderful USANA day!

10) Boleh campur soy milk or juice ?
Boleh. Utk lagi sedap boleh tambah bubble jelly Sila baca di SINI. Just that jgn campur byk-byk bahan sangat la to the Nutrimeal. Sbb takut you add on more calories to the shake.
11) Boleh tak minum shake Usana tapi saya makan mcm biasa jugak? I love food so much.
No. Definitely cannot. You will gain weight instead! I don’t believe on products yg kata boleh makan banyak mcm biasa but still boleh turun berat and tk gemuk. For me nk kurus ni mcm nk kaya. No easy way to jadi kaya and same goes to lose weight jugak. Kalau ada product yg boleh buat org suka makan banyak jadi kurus wpun tk kurangkan food intake, I rasa dunia ni dah tkder org gemuk dan istilah obesiti pupus dari kamus.
Sekian terima kasih
