I loved Jasper Carrot when he did shows on TV. I think my favourite one from Radio is Milton Jones. He is just full of puns. He has appeared on "Mock the Week" a few times and has had a few series of "Another case of Milton Jones" on Radio 4.

I had an invite to have a jab in November, but thought I was due for a blood test in December/January so I left it so I could do it at the same time. Last week I got a letter for an appointment for the Diabetic clinic on 26 Feb and need a blood test before, so rang and booked both. :) Let's...

Last week I booked for my blood test and the Swine Flue Vaccine for Wednesday at my local surgery. It's at a good time, ten past ten on 10th February 2010. 8)

I sometimes forget to have one for breakfast and end up having it with or after my lunch. How long does it take to get through your system, ie what's the minimum difference in time you can take them together? Can I take it after a late lunch @ 3pm, then have one with tea @ 6 pm? I take 500mg...

I have bought some Diabetic Strawberry Jam made by 'Stute' in the past. It contains 54% (54g per 100g) of Sorbitol. 3 slices of toast and 2-3 hours later I know about it. :oops: It certainly makes you loose weight ........... on the Toilet!! I now buy the reduced sugar stuff by 'Streamline'...

I actually prefer Brain's version of the song to Freddie's. It is one of my all time favourite songs, along with 'Who Wants To Live Forever' and of course 'Bo Rhap'. Queen are defiantly my favourite band of all time. 8) Whenever I listen to their songs I think, "Boy I miss you Freddie!" I...

I only own 2 singles. The only one I bought is one of my all time favourites, "Too Much Love will Kill You" by Brain May. The other one was a present (probably Christmas 85) "Do they Know it's Christmas" by Band Aid. Both are on Vinyl. Looking at my tape draw which I think are in order, I think...

This has been a useful thread, thank you. I have been told different things by people. My diabetic nurse and people on the DESMOND course said they you can eat fruit between meals if you want, they are better than a chocolate bar or similar. However I was told by a dietician that because of the...

Just a daft question from a Noobie. Do you have to ask to have a blood test to find you Hba1c or do you wait for the surgery or diabetic clinic makes you an appointment? It's just I had my last one in July so I'm sure I'm overdue, also I do not test my BG with a meter, so I don't know how I'm...

Thank you for the Welcome. I did get a screen-shot of the opening page to prove I was the 20,000 member, I may have a go at posting it later. Your avatar gb, is for the 2,000th poster, not 20,000. Early last year, I put Diabetes Forums into Google and it came up with one, which I then joined...

I will probably have it when I next have a 6 monthly blood test. I'm sure I will get a sore arm because the words blood and stone describe how to get blood out of me! :roll: Just a daft Question, Am I right in saying the normal (seasonal) flu jab is done every year, so is this swine flue jab...

That looks a great idea, snow chains for footwear. I wonder what they are like in slush or when there is no snow. I guess the will be easy to take off. For cars I have heard snow socks (Auto socks) are very good. I could go on about winter tyres, but this is not a car forum and would be going a...

In a town at the foot of the North Yorkshire Moors. In (the ancient capital of) Cleveland. We are currently thawing out from 13 inches of snow from Saturday. However it's going quick.

Be careful with Diabetic Chocolate, sweets and Jams. They make you loose weight....... on the toilet! :wink: I have eaten a small (42g) chocolate bar from Boots and 3 hours I know about it! Has anyone tried the Thorntons Diabetic stuff?

Hello All In May 2008 for one of my contract jobs I needed a routine pre-employment Medical check. Everything went well except they found a lot of sugar in my urine. I went for more tests at my local Doctors, GTT etc. In June or July I was Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, I don't suffer from...
