    New HbA1c numbers

    This might help if you relate the meter reading from tables elsewhere to current Hba1c then..... IFCC-HbA1c (mmol/mol) = [DCCT-HbA1c (%)- 2.15] x 10.929.

    Is it the heat?

    Could be my Monday. Two croissant, a boiled egg and coffee for breakfast. Drove the 30 miles to Berwick on Tweed garden centre to get some essentials. Returned 2 hours later to find greenhouse at 30c, opened all the vents and and evacuated all of the plants other than seeds sown the day...

    Is this forum proving useful?

    For what it is worth I consider that creating this forum was unnecessary. On the other hand I welcomed the bit of stable cleaning that removed a few of the 'nastier' zealots who all too often became embroiled in nothing more than undisguised personal attack. I also think setting out rules...

    Swine Flu - Are Diabetics At Risk ??

    Number and bullet come to mind. Relax and lets see how far it does or does not not develop, with or without the media hype. Worry and we will eventually die. Relax and ,equally, we will all eventually die - when the bullet has our number. If its a real threat then everyone is at risk whether...

    wrist / hand cramps

    I had a similar problem with some fingers folding into he palm and locking. It turned out to be a temporary thickening of ligaments which, when the fingers were closed to my palm, got stuck outside the sheath that they pass through.

    "with a teaspoon of honey, and a handful of frozen mixed berries. Gotta take this once a day... They say that you can feel a difference in less than a week. I'll report back" What's happening - other than developing a sweet tooth?

    Chips

    In this house they have always been known as parschips. You can also par boil, roll in parmesan cheese, pop in the freezer for a short while, remove from freezer and brush with olive oil before oven baking. Even better with parsnips and sweet pots and white turnips is to slice with a mandolin...

    Taxing chocolate

    The bold Dr David is what we in the heathery parts would term a Presbyterian or Wee Free ar*ehole. Came across as a reincarnation of Dr Snoddie of Dr Findlay's Casebook fame. No doubt, however, he has now had his five minutes of fame. When challenged on a Radio 2 interview he said he knew all...

    The Cure!

    I think that if you look elsewhere on this forum you will find extensive postings around the use of the replacement oil therapy and non-use of trans fats. Despite many appearing to try the 'Cure' I have not seen any successful results posted.

    Obesity Survey

    Why indeed is it that obesity as a problem appears to be growing? It surely can't simply 'be metabolism. If it is then we have to look for what is affecting metabolism in the wider population. Do, perhaps, many people eat more and become obese simply because more is readily available? I...
