Had a snotty call from the Diabetes Clinic asking why I hadn't been to see them yet. I explained that I was not yet stabilised, owing to asthma/chest infections popping up every few weeks, necessitating steroids - 40mg a day for 5 days. I wonder if anyone can tell me how long steroids slosh...

I woud second that, Sue. But I also hold a deep and abiding awe for the tipsy lady who had enjoyed a long and excellent dinner with her large and posh family at a hotel where we were staying. All in one breath, she said 'I've had a simply wonderful time tonight, so much so that I would like to...

You not only CAN do it, you HAVE been doing it. We all get hacked off with it at times - I have myself got fed up with bad BS today because of infection and thought 'sod it' and eaten a pizza and a pud. But tomorrow is another day...keep your chin up!

Glad you're feeling better, Sandy; it's a b*gger when you're having a bad time with the asthma too. I'm the same at the mo with a chest infection - bs gone loopy. The low-carb is such a Godsend when it comes to lowering bs...I'm so glad I found this forum! Keep on keeping on, Sandy!

I'm asthmatic. So they put me on steroids. So I got fat. And THEN i got diabloodybetes from the steroids. But I can't be bothered to explain that to the sort of person who I KNOW is making the assumption that I sit and drink coke to wash down the doughnuts all day... :evil:

Ah yes...but who knows? :mrgreen:

They do picnic/snack packs of those,a big bag of little packets of two; you can get stem ginger or berry ones.I can only get them ion bigger Waitroses though. Two biscuits are JUST right if you're needing a bit of something to keep you going!

I've been having acupuncture for ages (not for diabetes specifically, I was only diagnosed Xmas 08; thanks, Santa...) but she's now doing some work on the diabetes too. BS is dropping well, but I've upped my meds (metformin) and also been low-carbing so it's hard to know what's done what.

Will there be an English translation of this available soon, please? Although I understood the bit about the photograph... This just goes to show how right I was to give up chemistry after the third form. :mrgreen:

The olives with anchovy in are nice, and so are the ones with a green chilli stuffed up it. One of my customers loves olives with lemon rind in, but I've never tried 'em.

Contact your local diabetes education group; the class I've just finished (YES!!!!!) would have been PERFECT for someone with learning disbilities. I was bored rigid and vaguely insulted at the visual aids employed (for instance, a plastic apple and pear to demonstrate 'apple' and 'pear' shaped...

I always think it tastes like dog choc drops. And yes,I DO speak from experience, albeit from the dim & distant when I was about 5. So I call it 'dog chocolate'. Bleurgh...
