@porl69 I hope your head doesn't hurt too much after hitting it against that brick wall!

I confess before I was diagnosed, I knew very little about diabetes and the different types. However, I had no one in my family or amongst my friends with any type of diabetes. I didn't have a father who had cured his type 1 through diet and exercise.

I think she could tell how cheesed off I was.....I hardly ever roll my eyes BUT there was a LOT of eye rolling AND also interrupting when she was speaking. MAYBE its the cure we are looking for :hilarious::hilarious:
 
Home. Hurray. Weather is beautiful out there but I am totally cream crackered and all I want to do is pretend I am @helensaramay avvie....
 
That'll do me nicely!
 
@porl69 . So now you know.:):):).
I had a similar chat a few weeks back. A type 2 was informing me that I was lucky on account I could just inject insulin and eat anything.
I smiled safe in the knowledge that diabetes wasn’t her biggest problem.
One of those good days where minimum effort has been needed to keep everything in range.
Going to dine al fresco shortly. Chicken Fajitas. I reckon 10g carbs should cover 3 of them and maybe a good squirt of insulin might do the trick. Easy peasy this type 1 malarkey
@MeiChanski
Welcome to the go to thread on the forum for the more discerning type 1.
 
Hi, I had another good day, if somewhat louder :wideyed:
I have made a faux pas, I have downloaded the Casual Escort app ( school that is lol :rolleyes:) and I put Wednesday and Thursday down, morning and afternoon, but I didn't start until Thursday and only did Friday morning :oops::eek: so I have rang transport coordinator, no reply from the mobile, so I left a message, oh dear oh dear..........oh dear :oops:
 
One of the dogs stole my raw broccoli and ate part of it and hid the rest. I know because he ate it next to me on the couch. I'll have a look in the garden but I'm afraid I need to change dinner plans.
 
Welcome to the thread @MeiChanski .

Fortunately, some of my students wanted a quiet, sit-down afternoon and working through my job list rather than the workshops job list which means the paperwork pile has been conquered enough for me not to have to bring some home over the half-term, my (students) job list is shorter than it was, and I believe the workshop job list is also much shorter. I even had a few minutes to admire the work going on on the latest car being pulled apart... We like pulling cars apart, we do. (No, don't even ask about putting them back together again, it's not happening!)

I am proud to announce, I think, that I had to get someone to drink up the older emergency can of full-fat Coke in the work place fridge, as the "Use by Date" is the end of the month. I seem to have got morning walking/breakfast/insulin sussed for now as I've not had an arrive at work on a 3.5 for months now. I am, however, not taking any risks and a new can has replaced it.

@Robinredbreast "Casual Escort app" :cool: I am so seeing a new an interesting side to you :hilarious:

Evening all.

Things here as an x-Ray are rather fun, certainly makes people take a second look. :playful:

Other than that all is well my world, just mooching through some vinyl records :joyful:

I had to look twice at "Casual Escort" and then remembered what @Robinredbreast's new job really is.

We call them disgustobars and eat them on walks. When it's cold, they shatter and when it's warm they stick to the plastic. We like them.

That is simply the best way to describe them tbh :D

You're indeed speaking my language, I did try birthday cake and it was interesting, I didn't know what Americans were thinking. :hilarious:

If we could harness the curative power of ignorance, diabetes would be a thing of the past.
(Or something like that.)

I'd think we'd make a lot of money off people's ignorance when it comes to talking about it. I'll put a £1 in for every time they say they have a "cure" for diabetes which is some herbs. :hilarious:

I think you're better off with your uni work, honest! Nor would you want my lot's attempts at your work. (Or lack of attempt!)
 
Have to admit to sniggering at Casual Escort.
Also @Robinredbreast aren’t you supposed to a responsible adult onot someone hardly bothered about the kids? Anyway, not sure I’d want a Casual one, definitely well turned out and someone who knew how to deliver the best result (still sniggering).

Coke has a use-by date?! Do the chemicals in it finally dissolve each other then the can?
