What is your HgA1c:
Your average blood sugar can be measured by a hemoglobin A1C test. Knowing your average blood sugar is a vital part of managing your diabetes. This test measures your blood sugar control over the past 2-3 months. Managing your blood sugar with an A1C level close to 6 can delay the onset or possibly prevent diabetes related complications that affect the eyes.

Coloboma is derived from the Greek koloboma meaning curtailed.
Retinochoroidal coloboma is an eye abnormality that occurs before birth. It is characterized by missing pieces of tissue in both the retina (the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye) and choroid (the blood vessel layer under the retina). In many cases, retinochoroidal coloboma does not cause symptoms. However, complications such as retinal detachment may occur at any age. Other possible complications include loss of visual clarity or distorted vision; a cataract; and abnormal blood vessel growth in the choroid. Retinochoroidal coloboma can involve one or both eyes, and may occur alone or in association with other birth defects. It can be inherited or can occur sporadically .

A dedication to the deceased
Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Mu***os) is a two day holiday that reunites the living and dead. Families create ofrendas (Offerings) to honor their departed family members that have passed. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks of the one being honored. The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their foods and join in the celebrations!

Day of the Dead is a rare holiday for celebrating death and life. It is unlike any holiday where mourning is exchanged for celebration.
