Hi, I expect that I will get castigated, I normally am, however, did you eat bread the day before, or the period before. Bread always does this to me so now I try to avoid it. People will say that its not hard wheat, to that I say Hmph. Put it this way, if not eating bread stops the problem...

Not crisps that should not be eaten period (grease, sugar and salt, add that to the starch), but what some call French fries or even potato wedges! Glucose meter, do you use your blood tester? You obviously use Brittany Ferries, well having their breakfast means that your potato waffle is high...

It ok for doctors etc to go on about Hb1ac however how does one go away. We have found sugar being put into batter, sugars in tinned beans that are supplied in restaurants, sugar being put in mashed potato!!! and even in chili concarne. So presumably we must not go away!!! I have a daughter who...

So glad I have a French licence, it is valid or a long while yet however being over 65 means I need a medical for my bus and HGV every 2 years for the truck and yearly for the bus. Whilst I am on insulin and have been for 14 years its mainly because metformin in its many guises makes me VERY...

There is a lot of truth apparently that frequent sex or masturbation keeps cancer of the prostate away, apparently it is thought it is a case of use the valve muscle or lose it! I suppose that to err on the side of safety is a good (and pleasurable) idea. I have diabetes also and have had for 14...

MMm my dad was put on Porcin as he had funny chest pains and sudden high BP surges. I have been on Novomix30 for 14 years and had chest pains and stupid sudden 250/200 blood pressure surges. After about 6 years these problems got closer and closer until I was in the ED every 3 days, one cannot...

Its not per se but I really get pzzzzd off when people say I cannot because! Having had disabled, academically, children work for me, and disabled people in companies that I worked for feel that the very thought that they have been given that for years means that they possibly are not even...

If you are responding to me, for a little info, I had in the past employed some kids 16 -18, that had serious learning problems, I taught and ran youth clubs. For your information these kids all went out and got other jobs as they got older, but they got the chance, and why? Because they really...

Question, how does the failure of spell checker come across with little letters at the beginning of a sentence. If one does not use the very easy facility of red underlined right click for options then do not be too surprised if you are not asked to put trolleys away for Tesco. The probability...

Hi I am dyslexic and find it a great bit of kit, do not get me wrong, I still sometimes get brake for break and vice versa however reading the thing through after helps no end. Anyway, there is absolutely no excuse for no capitals, and totally incorrectly spelt words. The above prose was not the...

Just a wee thought, was not it the ex train workers union party (labour) that frigged up the system, is not it the current although far from perfect party that have dug us out. We need to definitely look at the system, and also this spare room thing, but do realise it only applies to them that...

I am seriously concerned that your academic qualifications in reading and the writing of the English language may not only be holding you back, but precluding you from any action. Certainly as a/ a former person with disabilities requiring a pension, and that of being an employer before that, I...

Hi, I was on benefits after being burnt in a Car fire and was told, whilst in bandages, suffering from ptss by one of the hitlerian, geriatric security staff that they "are fed up with malingerers like me" at which point I had a breakdown. Roll forward one year plus. I went on a staff...

Thats smack on, however you must realise that many "specialists" are giving rote. Even on the formal bit here the other day it stated overweight etc. If someone put down it was through being born it would be more factual. So please any so called specialist make a note, being a type 2 diabetic...

Hi, sometimes the body assimilates different things at different speeds. So for example you may have some type of carb that your body deals with slower and therefore your bloods go up slower. Further you have not put your form of control in, like insulin, metformin etc. Metformin is also known...

There is absolutely no argument, you should be on insulin. No amount of pills is going to get your sugars down, nor is excercise. You need to see a diabetes clinician -YESTERDAY. Failure to do so and you will have serious problems, loss of vision,- permanantly, limb amputation, or how about...

I make my porridge out of 2/3 cup of oats, 1 cup water, 1/4 cup of currants, a small tea spoon of both muscadet and 1 of cinamon. Its relatively low carb, the cinamon is good for Db, the oats are very high in fibre. If you want add 1/2 tea spoon of either sugar or splenda etc but normally the...

Wow getting glasses because you are borderline, gulp, I have worn glasses since school, did not need them though for driving, technically. You are missing a lot if you are borderline and do not wear them. Frankly, I would not be seen dead without mine, I am now 68 and my glasses have saved my...

How glad I am that I live in France!! Driving licences are not the hastle that there seems to be in the UK. I have an HGV and limited bus licence, have a medical every 2 years and have no problem. Granted I have been a diabetic for 12 years, on insulin. Granted that my control has been good, and...

Oh yeah, Let me see, yes had one tablet of Glucophage, very ill had sickness and diarhea. They stopped THAT. Some 10 years later, a "clever" doctor thought "argh yes we will try him on this he will not know". Yeah good, within 20 minutes doubled in pain, eventually had morphine, had second, now...
