Daniel Craig - Skyfall. I loved Judy as M and loved her role in that. Fave theme tune Nobody does it better. IDRIS ELBA for my next favourite Bond! Did like hairy Sean Connery bless him!

Blood free clothing, same with bed sheets after doing a middle of the night test half asleep.

Smooth finger tips.

I find telling them to go forth and multiply (f@@@ off) generally puts my view point across of what I think of them. Don't waste your time angsting over some ill-mannered, ignorant person. They'd be the first to moan if you didn't look after yourself. The comment above about finding them...

20g of carbs a day. Sometimes less.

She's a Tory. Nuff said. Bleughh!!! Let's not kid ourselves that she'll be queuing up for her annual with the rest of us. (Don't wish her any ill will).

I'm 46 and started at 45. Gutted!

More protein and fat. I do lchf and I'm still progressing on the weights. I'm type 1. I get a a blood sugar rise from protein so I bolus for it. I can gain weight if I eat too much as the amount of Insulin needed increases. I've gained muscle mass ad I like to lift heavy on this diet too. You...

Yep. Insulin resistance that you wouldn't believe- might as well be bolusing water. Then boom sensitivity increases. Pain in the neck it is. More testing to play round with basal, I've increased the amount of HIIT exercise and weight lifting. It increases insulin sensitivity and I sweat my a@@e...

Hello again. For a PT session, I increase my basal 30 minutes before by +100%. And run it for 1 hour 30 minutes at that rate. I also At the start Of the session bolus 1.5 u. This means that I may start in the low 5s but if the wind is in the right direction and I'm wearing my lucky socks my...

@deborabaratto it took me a while to get to grips. I'm on a pump and also lchf. It is trial and error. I find of a night I get my tea 'free' after a PT session. Then I do lower my basal rate. Sometimes -50% for 1 hour, sometimes drop it by 0.1 units per hour. It will also depend on what...

Tell her you are really struggling at the moment with your sugars so you would really appreciate it if she wouldn't do that. Or take in your own treat and get it out when they do. I did that. I took sugar free jelly pots in. Now when people bring in treats for everyone they bring in a pot for...

Woohoo, pumper here and a low carber. I think it all depends on your care trust. I had to go on a Dafne corse even though I'd carb counted for ever. I twiddled with my fast acting insulin for years to correct and whatever. I always tested more than they thought I should. But before low carb I...

Think like a pancreas by Gary Scheiner may help. God love you, you must be so frustrated by all of this. Basal testing is the first thing I'd do to be honest. I play with my animas vibe all the time responding to dawn phenomenon and mental out of the nowhere insulin resistance. If you end up...

Oh bless your (ignorant) sister in law. Non ds tend not to realise that you are constantly doing the job of a pancreas which is an automatic function. It's a full time ish job on top if just living. We do make mistakes on occasion, and it can be knackering. Ignore her - unless you actually do...
