    Daft hobbies

    That's a shame Craigybus, so sorry to hear it. My boyfriend had a nervous breakdown a while ago and like you he finds the distraction of a good hobby, or two, VERY helpful. I mentioned in another thread that I go to Church for comfort, but my boyfriend is NOT about to join me there. :wink: I...

    Daft hobbies

    I'd laugh at you more Craigybus but to be honest my (toy)boyfriend is 32 and has loads of Games Workshop models (he used to work for them), plus his mate (34) collects Transformers. And a large group of us hold Role-Play evenings (dice games, not sex games) about twice a month. I'm a female...

    Chronic pain and blood glucose

    My heart goes out to you Brian, I can't imagine what you're going through! I'm not a doctor but I reckon keeping your BG under a bit more control would make you feel better (comfort eating is fun but high BG makes me feel like c**p), your doctor should be interested in helping you with that (if...

    Daft hobbies

    I don't care how seriously you take me... All *I* care about is where he got Hello Kitty slippers in an adult size! :wink:

    Daft hobbies

    I'm 54 and I collect Hello Kitty stuff! :lol: I don't buy everything with Hello Kitty on (there are too many) but quirky things, useful things and really pretty things end up being MINE. :D I've got a big pink Hello Kitty bag that I carry my stuff in when I do my radio show, a Hello Kitty...

    overactive bladder

    My Mum's doctor put her on a patch that calms her bladder down - maybe you could ask about that?

    Study says Low-Carb best for fat loss and vascular health

    Re: Study says Low-Carb best for fat loss and vascular healt Great news on the low carbing BF. I've lost weight by low fat diet before and was told by the specialist who took my gall bladder out that low fat diets CAUSE gall stones (because the gall bladder doesn't get stimulated, by enough...

    Study says Low-Carb best for fat loss and vascular health

    Re: Study says Low-Carb best for fat loss and vascular healt Haha! You sound like me... I've only been married/divorced twice (now live with my long-term b/f) but when I refer to marriage I make myself sound like Elizabeth Taylor. :lol:

    swollen ankles - socks?

    Further to Sid's idea, you can also search for "diabetic socks" on Amazon. They seem to have lots.

    Need help/Someone to talk to - struggling to cope.

    I think you should show an adult you trust this post, or something like it. Somebody has to know how ill you are becoming, so that they can support you. You're a really impressive person - you have great personal insight and you write well... But sometimes we just need help, and you DO need...

    stress induced T2 ?

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if stress contributed to mine. The last few years have been incredibly stressful and I've developed gastric problems as a result. I can FEEL my digestive system flooding with something (acid?) when the tiniest problem arises, or somebody else loses their temper...

    Flu Injection

    Don't know if I'd have the jab or not. Last year my (asthmatic) b/f had one and he felt awful for a few days afterwards! Guess I'll be offered one, as I've now been diagnosed... But, as I said, I may not bother. :?
