I suffer from this on and off. I once didn't get more than two hours sleep a night for several months due a combination of diabetes, bereavement, work stress, anxiety ,surgery complications etc. 1. Keeping bedroom only for sleep and other such activities. 2, No laptops, kindles, ipads, phones...

It's a fantastic place to meet lots of healthy bendy women in my experience. Oh and it's also good for flexibility, it's exercise so can lower blood sugar. It's also fantastic for improving posture and recovery from other forms of exercise. I did it when I was running decent miles and cycling...

Hmm it might be growing on me hahah..

Most are full of sugar and taste like **** unfortunately!

I just stick to whiskey, gin, vodkas if I want to get on it. Strong enough to stop my liver dumping glucose and don't cause me to spike. Always test and eat before bed though ha. Lager will have me in the twenties after couple of pints unless I bolus for it, then I always go low, so I don't...

A diabetic friend of mine did this on and off for years. 29 two young children, qualifies as blind , delayed stomach emptying, neuropathy and her kidneys are on the way out, seriously damaged her health and life expectancy for the sake of vanity. She cries about the stupidity of having done...

Lime and soda. Soda and small dash of OJ Sugar free cordials. Sparkling waters mixed with dash of juices, cordial.

I'd stay well away. It's a good SNRI and works better than placebo in major depressive disorder, but don't drink on it. Side effect profile is less than with other anti depressants. You'll sleep like a baby, but will gain weight, hunger cravings and your BS will most likely suffer. I don't...

Recovered but still not right, gone from waking up between 4.5-5.5 in the mornings to waking up at 11, guess my body is still trying to fight it off. Gah!

I have several friends who are IBFF carded professionals who compete in America. Anybody you see in any magazine or website with a decent amount of muscle takes steroids, growth hormone. Even those competing in natural competitions often built their muscle with steroids, came off them...

If you're doing this on 800 calories a day, you're burning muscle. Can't do both at the same time unfortunately, goes against the laws of thermodynamics. Check the link I posted and look at a beginner programme when you've finished your diet. Good luck. Wasn't meaning to sound rude, just...

Sounds good. If you're serious about gaining muscle, you'll have to knock back on the cardio and increase your protein intake. This is a great resource. http://scoobysworkshop.com Full of great advice and minimal bro science.

You're on a starvation diet.. 800 calories with exercise at your height ,I imagine you're loosing muscle at a decent rate. You won't be able to build any muscle whilst running a calorie deficit, exercise will only add to the problem. Toning up is also a bit of a meaningless term, you drop...

I genuinely find it both depressing and scary that this is what politics has come to in this country.

The rise of the idiots.... The UK really is done for if we have people taking the political opinions of these two seriously.

Hi all, Great resource even if you don't agree completely agree with his approach. :)

It's sods law really, had a fantastic few weeks blood sugar wise, have a HbA1c coming up soon and I was confident of being in the 5% club, been sat at 6.1/43 for over three years now, every HbA1c test comes back the same to within the decimal ha. That's the thing about diabetes, when you...

Bleurgh. Been the worst 24 hours diabetes wise for a long while. Spent the weekend looking after the other half who was in bed with what appears to be Norovirus. It is a strong relationship that can handle looking after your other half when she appears to have suddenly morphed into young Regan...

Please tell us more, what do you mean by multiple extended bolus doses, you can have two differing boluses running at the same time? Oh does the preset temp basal differ from the current bolus? Cheers, C

Please make sure you keep an eye on that fasting level!
