I had my Db check yesterday and have been told that my blood glucose is slowly going up each year. As I suffer from bad depression I do tend to resort to binges for comfort and especially chocolate binges which I know is very bad but very difficult to break. My readings were .. Bp 152/90...

It's often too ridiculous that it's hard to believe it happens! And there is a ridiculous "lines" situation outside here. Tenants have to have a parking permit for on street parking but there is also a specific area for 2hour parking. Between the permit parking area and the 2hr area is a double...

Thankyou so much for your quick response (actually made me shed a tear - think I've been on a denial course for some time!) and I'm relieved at knowing it's most probably not what I thought. If that sounds a bit "double-dutch" as they say, at least I know what I mean! :lol: Will try what you...

Can someone enlighten me, being rather ignorant of these things but trying! - I have had a reading of 10.3 two mornings running, isn't that a bit high? I am T2 for 2years aprox. and having got up at about 10.30am - being disabled it takes me a long while to get mobile enough to get out of bed -...

Well, IanD,won't argue with you on the "vynl" question but it definitely was a windup gram. The music started off at full gallop and petered down to a whine! Had to quickly wind it up again in mid flow. We had lots of staunch marching music records and very few of the "modern" of the day. Do you...

Expect this will stump a lot of you. First music was a vynl of Winifred Atwell on her piano. and played it on our wind up gramaphone. First Cd was Queen. First concert was Emmie lu Harris and the Hot Band at the Royal Albert Hall Also, just love Keane And going to see The Tattoo at Birmingham...

Really hate it when people get so patronising. I was at the db clinic and the young nurse got a form for me to fill in. She immediately crouched down next to my chair and started to read it to me, pointing to the places where I had to put in the answers! I asked her if she did that for...

Howdy! I'm a Norfolk born and bred biddy. Actually live in Norwich. Just at this moment I have a big black spider on the wall up near the ceiling and too high for me to capture. Am nervously watching it for when it comes down a bit so I can get it in my spider catcher. Yeeek!

Well done indeed! However, miserable old biddy that I am, here's hoping you can keep it off. When all the compliments die down then the real struggle begins.I know, I have been there several times. So remember, it's a life time commitment, not much different from managing Db. I'm only trying to...

I don't worry about what I eat as a rule but only because I continually long to lose weight. Purely as a vain preoccupation. I was with my son, who is a paramedic, and my daughter and we were having a drink in a pub. I had a 7up and my son says "you shouldn't be drinking that!" When we got back...

:mrgreen: Howdy folks! Am always ready for a good chat. I must warn you I do go on and on and on and on- any takers. Hows about letting me know what sort of hobbies you have? I keep sayng I'm going to get into doing something "useful". As I'm going to stay with my daughter for a whole month...

:? I know the feeling! I have actually managed to get down to my "proper" weight about 3 times during the course of my life. It's so great to feel really energetic and well, plus whatever you wear looks real good. Every time I have told myself I'm not going to put it back on but addiction to...

Just thought I'd add a pennyworth. You are so young that it's worth the effort to get things under control. Life will be so much happier when you are at your fittest level, you know that makes sense. I was prescribed Ezetimibe for cholesterol but found it brought me out in a very itchy rash...

:D Been diagnosed with type 2. am 75 and really find it difficult to remember what I shouldn't be eating! Have a very bad back due to spina bifida/arthritic complications and being in a lot of pain quite frequently I often can't be bothered to anyway. I know that's not the right attitude...
