In general, the best advice to give a landlord is to repair a problem with a rental property as soon as possible. Heating and plumbing problems, because of their unique nature, should be handled within 24 hours of learning of the issue.
Know your portions. Following a low sugar diet requires some diligence in knowing how much you should be eating. In general, most people should consume 2 fruits (or 2 cups) and at least 3 cups of veggies per day. On average 1 serving of fruit contains 15 grams of sugar.
However, you should begin eating less fat, sugar and salt, and begin eating more vegetables, fruit and complex carbohydrates, such as beans and whole grains. You should eat a wide variety of foods from each food group every day. In particular, pay close attention to food groups that contain sugars or starches. For example, bread, cereals, grains, starches, dried beans, fruit and milk contain carbohydrates, the part of food that most affects blood sugar. Low fat and lean is best. Keep portions no larger than the palm of your hand.
