Hi @DiabeticDadUK . Absolute legend. I was very lucky, diagnosed 1991 at a time when research was a big thing at the Royal Infirmary. Got to spend a good 5 hrs or so on a one to one lesson in diabetes.
Also worth mentioning that after the skirt lift I had to drop my jeans and inject into my thigh, we must have looked a right pair.
I doubt it ... my poor Sadie (pictured) went to Rainbow Bridge in January :-( I do however have another retriever now, young Bosley. At the very most he'd lick you to death!
It's strange because I thought once I'd been confirmed as LADA (I'd been in LADA limbo for 4 years) I would be better with my diet than I usually am. Oddly enough I think I've been worse. I've been reading the posts on this site for the last 3 years, reading up on LADA and I pretty much know what to expect. I feel I'm well informed. I went to a new GP the other day and asked why my endo said I should keep my BS under 5 before meals (which I am finding pretty much impossible with LCHF). He was very surprised and said that is more appropriate for a 16 year old, not someone my age. I talked about LADA, diabetes and blood sugars a bit and he asked me what I did for a living ... thought I must have worked in the medical field given my knowledge. I have this forum to thank for that. I am currently wading through Bernstein's Diabetes Solution and Think Like a Pancreas. I'm probably a long way off insulin but hey, it doesn't hurt to be prepared.What is wrong with you? I suspect nothing. I think people can take bad news about their health in different ways. I also suspect trying to blank it out or not taking it as seriously as you should is quite common. However, if you realise that today or frequently on any given day then it's time to take action. Only you can do it. Do not give up

Definitely a missed carry on film in there somewhere.
Oh, such a shame for Sadie, but I'm sure Bosley will chase those sticks!
I was sitting in my pooch-friendly local pub a couple of months ago, and one of these little critters, a jackahuahua, came up and planted itself quite happily on my foot. My mum told me always show the back of your hand to it's nose so the dog can sniff it so it "knows" you before you start clapping it. Maybe it's an old wives tale, but I always do that, and this wee one then curled up on my foot, and looked up as if to say, I'm happy here!
Just too cute, I was half tempted to run off with it!
Mind you, it was a curious wee thing, and immediately ran off to do exactly the same thing with the next customer who came in! I'll get a dog one of these days....
I wonder sometimes about the number of people who use dog pic avatars. I've not had any major league mind-melting hypos for a long time now, fingers crossed, but the next time I have one, I'll probably end up looking at this site and wondering, how do these dogs type, how can they inject without having thumbs?
