    Does diabetes shorten our lives?

    I know that a badly-managed type 1 diabetes will cause "complications" (itself a multitude of sins) later in life, but how about a moderately-managed type 1? I'm talking about myself, I'm 45 and test & inject regularly, but do not lead a strict regime of no beer/fatty foods etc and only...

    Can't figure out my girlfriend - lies?

    Thanks, Russ. It's way beyond that, so it's goodnight Vienna. No man is an island? What rubbish.

    Can't figure out my girlfriend - lies?

    I didn't understand your first sentence? But I don't trust her, even after much soul-searching and with much empathy for her, whom I now know much better. Though she's a great mum and we get along as joint parents seperately. I just needed an outside opinion as I can't see clearly myself from...

    Can't figure out my girlfriend - lies?

    I have depression which has crippled me emotionally over the years, affecting my behaviour but also my thought processes, and need an impartial opinion. I met my current partner eight years ago. She had just been through a series of events whereby her then-boyfriend (affair, really), a result...

    No 'bond' - just two lots of "rent"?

    I don't know if anyone has heard of this before. I was intrigued and thought I'd post it here to see what others thought. In July 2007 a work colleague of mine privately rented a studio flat (in Sheffield)- bathroom and toilet included- which was brand new at the time, he was the first tenant...

    Persistent website registerer?

    Hi The IP's are now changing constantly, though someone else suggested it may be auto-generated 'Spambots'. Harmless but annoying.

    Persistent website registerer?

    Hi I run my own site and have noticed in the past fortnight that an anonymous person keeps registering new ID's at the rate of 2 each day. The IP addresses were initially so similar that I knew it was the same person- now slightly differing, plus they create similarly long and weird user-ID's...

    Tiredness and diabetes - a link?

    Thanks guys, certainly food for thought. I might give the underactive thyroid theory more attention as my mate's girlfriend has just been diagnosed with it. As for circling my shoulders etc in my chair and doing the Tai Chi...erm :lol: seriously though I do get up and go for coffee etc, also...

    Tiredness and diabetes - a link?

    Hi Catherine Thanks for that advice. Oh well- I'll take more breaks, must be my age after all. :D

    Tiredness and diabetes - a link?

    Hi folks I don't mean those diabetics only recently diagnosed, whose blood sugars will no doubt be high. I have type 1 under control (for about a year now) and my levels are usually always within the optimum, I work sitting at a computer all day and, though I take breaks and exercise my eyes...

    Any Beatles fans?

    Hmmmm, 'thanks' Stevie! :lol: I'm a fan though- that guy, though he writes well, seems to want to destroy their music at every turn?

    Any Beatles fans?

    And which are your favourite tracks? I've always loved this band's music- not the early stuff really, but the post-touring/studio material 1966 onwards- maybe including Rubber Soul from the mid-career period. Many people that 'diss' them usually have only ever heard those admittedly simplistic...

    Any Beatles fans?

    Hi I love the Beatles and always have, their later stuff mostly- post-Rubber Soul- after they'd given up touring. My fave list (Revolution, Cry baby cry, Because, etc) isn't exactly in line with the usual popular hits on combo albums, but I just started my own website dedicated to the group...

    My Artwork :)

    Very good! I do drawings myself...

    The BNP- a 'racist' party?

    Certainly deluded and naiive then? That's like throwing a grenade through a restaurant window and claiming you didn't know there'd be any shrapnel?
