    All inclusive resorts

    Have been on a couple of all inclusive holidays; the nicest one in Marbella. I would go back to the Marbella AI Hotel at the drop of a hat. Having said that, we would eat a nibble in the hotel around 5 0r 6pm but would have dinner much later at local restaurants 5 nights out of 7 and of course...

    Bag for Life

    Bothersome that E.coli. My wife works for a fine old chain of shops that also sell groceries. She is happy to help with packing bags for the customers though sometimes the bags she is given (cloth chappies) are quite old, well used and a bit smelly. She said it’s like being handed dirty underwear.

    Veggie drug dilemmas

    My decision to go veggie was due to animal suffering and I wanted to reduce the impact my life choices made. Of course lifting beef, pork and poultry from the shelves in the supermarket gives no indication that suffering takes place but for those who wish to know, the evidence is there. Some...

    Pneumonia / Flu Injections

    Ok, this is a first for me after Jab. Got the flu and pneumonia jab yesterday at 9am. By 7pm last night I was feeling dreadful. Got up from sitting position and felt faint so had to sit down, immediately. Went to bed early at 9.30pm and was in and out of sweats all night, shivering, broken...

    Pneumonia / Flu Injections

    I attended the docs this morning to receive the Flu Jab. Was also offered the Pneumonia Jab; I thought for a second and then agreed to have both. Fine so far. No problems with the previous 3 Flu Jabs either.

    Bag for Life

    I attended the docs this morning to receive the Flu Jab. Was also offered the Pneumonia Jab; I thought for a second and then agreed to have it. Nurse advised me the pneumonia Jab is for life; just once, never to be had again. I asked if I did contract pneumonia could I get my money back; she...

    Stupid McDonalds

    Nothing wrong with an occasional McDonalds. About a year ago my wife and I called into the drive thru for a fast hit of food on route to destination. I ordered a sausage and egg mcmuffin meal and then asked for an egg mcmuffin meal and stressed no meat with this one. The girl asked was it just...

    This year's flu injection

    To do or not to do; this is the question I ask myself every year. Going for jab on Tuesday morning; never had a bad reaction since starting the programme three years ago but often wonder do I really need it as I am as fit as a vegetarian butcher’s dog!

    Type 1 vs Type 2

    Hi Becky Having the opportunity to potentially reverse Type 2 Diabetes may be a comfort to some though the work required is enormous. I think this opportunity is only possible for obese patients and Type 2 Diabetics with a BMI of 22.2 may never have the option of a reverse gear. J

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    6.1, would like to be around 5.5. Unfortunately Metformin is almost useless for controlling post meal spikes.

    Has any particular food made you vomit!

    I don’t throw up easily! When I was primary school age, a girl, similar age, would visit her Granny during the summer. The girl was from Manchester and was gorgeous. Anyhow, all of the boys wanted her attention and tried all manner of tactics to win her over. One very hot summer’s day...
