I thought perhaps I would post with all this chat about books (I read this and other threads every day but rarely post) I own and run a used book shop and have done for the past 40 years. The Internet has been a life saver as the foot fall in the shop has fallen to almost none most weeks but I...

Sorry @dunelm I have never seen Good Omens. My name comes from the Book of Job and he is one of Job's comforters, but I am sure that you knew that.

@lindisfel I am not very tall but slightly taller than Shuhite. I like the story of Job and thought it was a good name. I often use obscure Bible names as either user names or passwords. There are not many people who have any clue who Bildad was

In my house now (and growing up) Meal 1 is breakfast at 6am meal 2 is dinner at 12.30 and meal 3 is tea at about 6pm. These days I only have coffee for breakfast, often nothing for dinner, and something low carb for tea. I am both northern and working class so I guess that is why I have a mid...

Thank you @Rachox for the link. The patch worked brilliantly. We swam twice during the week and the patch stayed attached all week. The camp food was VERY carby. One day Bolognese was served which had peas and sweetcorn in it. It was served with pasta, mash and bread. Some of the folks there had...

Thanks for the suggestions @MrsA2 Eggs will be OK there are usually plenty of them about cheese and tuna will also be available. Olives would be a good ideavif only I liked them but unfortunately I passionately dislike them. I will manage. I have been to this camp for quite a few years now but...

Thank you for your replies. I will purchase some of those @Rachox recommends. It will be interesting to see what a week at summer camp does to my numbers. The food on offer will be the usual children's fare of burgers, fish fingers etc and lunches are usually bread based. I am mainly carnivore...

I self fund a Libre 2 and am due to take some children away to a summer camp at the end of July. We will be taking them swimming and I will be one of the leaders going into the pool with them. Does the Libre 2 cope with chlorinated water? Would I need to cover it in any way? Thanks in advance

Or could it be that God created the sun, moon and seasons, appointed people to worship him at set times and the pagans followed the Jews worshipping their God's at those same times?

Just a thought @Annb Do you think that your higher readings could be due to your joint pain? As you know Diabetes is a multi faceted thing that not only reacts to food but to stress and many other stimuli. You have no doubt considered this ut sometimes we get tunnel vision and get fixed on food...

As @HSSS says it is your choice what if any medication you take. I have just had my annual blood tests and was not advised to fast but as @Outlier I always water fast before. My total cholesterol is always high but the ratios are well within the recommended levels and after much reading on here...

@RosGartlandio my nephew (who is 27and non diabetic) has a similar issue. He used to run but recently after each one he has suffered with a bad migraine. He has come to the conclusion that hydration is a big part of the problem. He runs far less than he did but can still do it if he makes sure...

@Antje77 Take care with those sweets I broke a tooth on them many years ago. Ended up having to have tge tooth crowned. A very expensive tube of sweets (They were sold in tubes in those days)
