Sounds like an Alice Tinker or Letitia Cropley idea https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-51015435
And ours. Too early for a little Pilot? (maybe when all the new socks and shirts have run out for me but I sense 1 or 2 already feel this way) Have a great day Threadfather (just about to ask if I should kiss your ring before realising what @jjraak might make of that)Fortunately, I am my own little ray of sunshine
Just to add to the excellent posts from @Muddy Cyclist , @ianpspurs, @dunelm and @DJC3 - it's mentioned a lot in research the the longer we have T2D the less likely we will go into 'remission '.what do people do if low carb doesn't fix them? What is left to try? What is your 5 year plan, haha.

Hi Karen how is rhe pump going, is it making life any easier? X7.5 for me have a good day everyone
Interesting. I think that these plant based meat alternatives use mainly soy so hopefully mainly protein. So, let’s save the planet by cutting out animal farming and animal flatulence and cover the planet in soy and increase human flatulence - hang on, where has all that natural fertilizer gone??Sounds like an Alice Tinker or Letitia Cropley idea https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-51015435
Hi @Krystyna23040 Well done on your personal T2D journey. How much did weight loss feature in your success?Just to add to the excellent posts from @Muddy Cyclist , @ianpspurs, @dunelm and @DJC3 - it's mentioned a lot in research the the longer we have T2D the less likely we will go into 'remission '.
Someone like me - who is likely to have had diabetes for 20 years before going low carb - is highly unlikely to achieve remission .
Luckily I did achieve remission and came off the insulin. I am under no illusion that it is going to be easy to maintain remission with such a damaged body.
On the plus side - my right foot that had been moving up towards high risk is now at low risk and will probably soon be at no risk. All the feeling has now come back in the foot.
So even if I do have to eventually go back on the insulin I will stay low carb which will mean that I will continue to enjoy having two feet - not like the unlucky 65 people a day on high carb who have a foot amputated.
I had been feeling that if I had to go back on meds I had failed, but @DJC3 pointed out to me that coming off insulin - even if it isn't forever - is still a success, as is keeping both feet.
It's really hard to know if it contributed at all. On diagnosis in 2012 I was 9st 6lbs with an hba1c of 125. In my GPs surgery my blood sugar just registered as Hi on his meter. At that weight I was super skinny - not a good look as at that weight I am just way too thin.Hi @Krystyna23040 Well done on your personal T2D journey.

My reading is up, I think, because I forgot to have my beef broth mid afternoon yesterday. Or it may be something else?
late in posting today (for me!)
Cat is very clingy at the mo. He is fine, eating well, still hunts (even though he is 27 years old) catching mice and eating them, but he seems to think I am his slave for his every whim. He even sits by the cat flap and looks at me silently with big wide eyes until I bend down and hold the cat flap open...Then to come back in he goes round the bungalow to see which room I am in, and sits outside beseeching me to open the window and let him him...then when he comes in he sits on my tablet or phone, whatever I am using...he has been known to use his paw pads to alter my message, or send an unfinished email...he even made a Skype video call on Sunday...which fortunately didn't get answered...
Up early as usual.
Done my daily painting challenge.
Acrylics. A3 sized.
I do like this one...very much. It might go on my bedroom wall. I do like painting in blues, and a limited palette. The whole thing was painted with the 3 different sized men's shaving brushes I have, and a thin rigger brush for the trunk and branches and moon. Stars were splattered on with a toothbrush. It was so relaxing to paint.
Back in bed with cat. I need a morning nap...
Have a good day.
Enjoy life.
Hugs if you need them.

Gorgeous picture again, never would have thought of painting with shaving brushes.
I’m enjoying the thought of your cat making a Skype call!
