    Help! I'm going to Japan!

    Hi, I have spent a month there and also went to very remote places in the Japanese Alps. It is usually fine, people are VERY willing to help, and usually the young understand at least basic English. When you look at packages, the nutrition info contains the same stuff as in UK. Carbohydrates...

    What to drink outside

    Coffee, tea are fine for me usually. Tea is more for evenings. I don't party much or so but it would be weird to have tea in a club though hahaha. Also I don't mind the occasional diet coke or so, but that seems to be out of the question for you.

    Hba1c results
