First thing in the morning, Terry Munro always puts the kettle on.

"Then I take my blood sugar, take my blood pressure and my weight and in that time the kettle's boiled.

"And I've got a record of it on my TV. It's marvellous, it really is."

Terry, who is 67 years old and has diabetes, has been keeping tabs on his own health using nothing more than his television.

That's ingenious. Closer monitoring, earlier detection and faster treatment. Isn't technology wonderful? 🙂
