Type 2 Life

I'm delighted to report my nasty, miserable sore throat has been battered into omission. A bit congestion but normal for this time of year.
Going out later to pick some protein rolls to freeze. If I can pick up something different, l'll be happy. Little man will be wanting to buy a chocolate santa to bite his head off. Poor santa. lol
Dizziness still hanging about with palpatations and deep breathing. Thank god Mr ickihun helps with little bits.
Luckily little one slows his fast walking down. So I can keep up.
I know one thing my next break away will be on my own. Peace and relaxation only. Too much dashing around for me in Blackpool and meals were bland. :(

Good Morning, my good, fine friends on the www.diabetes.co.uk Type 2 Life part of the Forum,

I haven't been one hundred per cent in the last few days although I have shaken off my urinary tract infection for which I completed the course of antibiotics. I now have a mouthful of very sore, pervasive mouth ulcers which cause me great discomfort, pain even, when eating and masticating my food. A close Christian friend ran me to the King's College Dental Hospital in his motor car and the dentist said, upon examination, there were a lot of bitemarks and very traumatic burns on the insides of my cheeks, from the first part of this observation meant I was biting my cheeks in my sleep and the second part of this evaluation was eating scalding hot food and not giving it sufficient chance to "stand" or to "cool down". I can only put this down to the sensory sensitivity in my Asperger Syndrome, a condition that although does describe some of the nice, caring attributes that people say I have but also causes me immense suffering. The Dentist at the King's College Dental Hospital wrote a letter to my GP describing my predicament with my teeth and gums and made a request to her to refer me for special care dentistry in the form of a full scale assessment and treatment procedure at this hospital.

My fasting blood glucose reading this morning, today, Friday 2nd December, 2016, at 8:33 Ante Meridian was 7.0 Millimoles Per Litres, after drinking a cup of coffee with 1 x 5 ml spoonful of Sainsbury's Rich Roast Coffee Granules, a dash of milk and 3 Sainsbury's Artificial Sweetener tablets.

Have a lovely day, my friends.

Love from Johnny Baker (@autisticwonder1970 ), a person with Asperger Syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus (insulin-resistant).

Hi Johnny - I'm sorry you're experiencing such trouble with your mouth. Let's hope your dental team can get it sorted quickly for you - you don't want it to spoil your Christmas lunch! :)
Good BGs, though - well done!
Hugs x

It's good to hear that the sore throat has finally done one - that must make things a lot more comfortable for you. :)
I have used one of these from time to time with the TTs:

They felt very important carrying Granny's purse in the backpack (which also meant I didn't need to take a handbag - double winner!), and it meant I could keep a good grip on 'em without them noticing. Result! :happy:
 
@ickihun & @eldergarth - Don't want to put the 'dampers' on the Glucosamine! When I found out 2 years ago I had Arthritis of the lower spine my GP put me on Glucosamine for 6 months and it had no effect at all. But, Ron before you go out and buy them - ask your GP if you could have them on prescription first. (I got mine on prescription).
And to @Kyambala - what a really sweet reply.:)

Thanks William will ask when I can manage to see my doc been trying all week with no success it's getting more difficult very few online bookings now days not had any for my doc he's that popular
 
@eldergarth - Ron, I know. I usually book on line 3 weeks in advance for an appointment. But, I have been lucky on my last 2 visits to see my GP as he actually made them appointments whilst I was seeing him, and he has booked me another for the 14th December.
Be guided by your GP about the Glucosamine, even if he/she won't prescribe them, ask if it is safe for you to take them? Before going out to buy them. William:)

The most frustrating thing at our surgery is seeing just how many people failed to keep their appointments. Every month it's well over 200.

It's disgraceful, people need to be Fined for missed Appointments at GP Surgeries AND at Hospital Appointments too. I reckon £5.00 a time, hit people where it hurts = Money!
 
My blood glucose reading, today, Friday 2nd December 2016 at 11:14 Ante Meridian is 6.8 Millimoles Per Litre. It is still a fasting blood glucose reading.

I have to agree with you, William - it didn't do me any good either, when I took it.
And I found this a while ago (which dates from 2010!!): http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-11330747

Ron took his first step last night of weaning himself of clonazepam . He was going to leave it till weekend but I stepped in. Honestly it was like sleeping next to a human vibrator. Been reading about withdraw symptoms of gabapentin not looking forward to that one bit . Then Co- dydramol.

Thanks for agreeing with me @debrasue - and more so knowing that you had tried them. I have heard a lot of negative responses from people over the years about Glucosamine. But, it might work for some people. William x

That's interesting. My mum has every man and his dog on them. Except me. However if I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis I'd try them for myself. As one size doesn't fit all. Other arthritic conditions inflam for a different reason so they were thought to be useless.
Strange how researchers said they could continue taking them as a supplement as causes no harm. I guess because the research might be at a later date be redone? Like some older research it gets reused at a later date.

I'm sure snake oil worked for some people back in the day... probably for the same reasons!
 
Good evening, my lovely, kind and fine friends on the www.diabetes.co.uk Type 2 Life part of the Forum,

I've had a very good day today, my mouth ulcers/blisters caused by biting and burning are healing nicely and a friend with mental health issues donated an early christmas present of a joint of pork and my other mental health service user friend Lee cooked roasted pork meat, steamed potatoes in their skins and steamed cauliflower for me, him, a Christian friend, and Ioanna in my flat. I watched a bit of CBeebies and Revelation TV now I'm watching TBN UK, a Christian television channel on Freeview and Sky. The man on TBN UK is talking by satellite link to a pretty brunette Christian lad with a black blouse on and pink flowers and a very elegant pair of slacks. The man in the studio has a grey suit, white shirt and scarlet tie.

My blood glucose reading, today, Saturday 3rd December, 2016, at 6:15 Post Meridian was 5.2 Millimoles Per Litre.

Yours sincerely, with fervent love and consideration to such a fabulous little Forum of people,

Johnny Baker (@autisticwonder1970), sufferer of Asperger Syndrome, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Musculoskeletal Disorder.

Nice Good Evening Quotes and Greetings Pictures.jpg
