    Diabetics R Us

    Virtual hug sent for now! More at the hugfest :) I like hugs. If the hugfest turns out to be anything like most parties I've been to however, I'll probably end up in the corner talking to the dogs. But I'll be happy :)

    Diabetics R Us

    Please do. Dogs are the best things to hug in the world. Well actually I don't know - I've never tried hugging a reindeer for example, so maybe bring them as well and I can compare...

    Diabetics R Us

    :wideyed: I'm quivering in anticipation. I've no idea whether it's going to be pictures of moths and bats from your recent jaunt, or p**n. Don't tell me! I like a surprise...

    Diabetics R Us

    You know the rules. Shorts, thigh-mounted gun holsters, boots with red laces, a bow, and you get all the hugs you want :) Oh go on you can have all the hugs you want anyway. I've sent you another one.

    Diabetics R Us

    It's okay for some, nobody can kick you out of any thread! You've got an access-all-areas pass! You can pop in to any thread and banter at will! Not sure if we have a member called Will for you to banter at? Let's try: @wi... yes, quite a few! Yes. In your recent thread called 'Garlic mystery...

    Diabetics R Us

    Thanks for starting this thread, I was thinking of doing something similar as I was getting uneasy. I'm totally supportive of the idea of people with things in common starting a group, so the separate threads for people with various illnesses didn't bother me at first. I got the impression...

    Aldi Parking Warning

    More importantly than anything, after just getting back from Lidl, I can report that they are doing lots of varieties of posh nut butters from Meridian for a decent price. A lot of them are quite high carb because they have mixed them with e.g. honey, but there's quite a wide and interesting...

    Aldi Parking Warning

    I wondered about that. They have on the back of the ransom note a bit of small print in which they seem to anticipate that. They cite a case that sets a precedent for these sorts of charges being backed up in law. ParkingEye actually won a case. The problem I have is the idea of evidence. If a...

    Aldi Parking Warning

    I sometimes think I sound like an advertisement for Aldi, having started at least two threads on their stuff and made many posts elsewhere. Anyway they've annoyed the beheck out of me recently. A few days ago a letter arrived which basically showed 2 photos of my car registration plate, and a...

    Haha! Brilliant.

    Why So Few?

    "Come in, sit down, let's have a nice cup of T1."? I'm not sure the word 'nice' works well with an illness, but anything for a pun. Oh, I see a thread's already been started. Just in case anyone misses it: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/type-1s-r-us.150597/ I'm not going to post...

    Why So Few?

    I like banter but I can't do Facebook. However, I feel this entire heated thread was worth it just so I could get to see you write the word modmins :)

    Low Carb Breakfast

    30g of mixed nuts with 50ml of milk is like an oat-free muesli, especially if you add 3 raisins chopped up into it. I find I can have that and usually my 2 hour reading is the same as my starting point, even with the raisins. It's a tiny volume of food but I find I can get through the morning...

    Why So Few?

    Aha! I'd never noticed the distinction before. I've been aware of the 'post your numbers with little chat' and the 'post your numbers with more chat' threads for a while now. Because the thread names seemed to refer to each other, I assumed they were started by the same person and were in the...

    Why So Few?

    I wonder if there's also less interaction between T1 and T2 (and T3c etc) members than there could be? Knowing when and where to interact is not always easy. If a thread is of a social / humorous nature then I'll sometimes take part regardless, but if a thread is someone asking for advice...

    Retail Therapy Ideas?

    I got socks. Plain old cotton socks. They haven't arrived yet. I'm excited.

    Type 2 Ketogenic Diet Question

    I have to admit I'm well out of my depth, but since it was an interesting question, I read through that link to see if I could work out the answer. I got the impression that insulin regulates the creation of ketones (i.e. its presence inhibits their creation), but has no role in transporting...

    More Media Attention For T2

    I think that so long as nobody tells anyone else what they should do, and instead says "this is my experience," all is good. I never assume my own personal experience will be true for others, and I see the findings of scientific studies as being an effort to tell us what is common, nothing...

    More Media Attention For T2

    I'm also entirely in agreement that exercise isn't needed for diabetes management, but I don't see that that's been suggested in this particular thread. My own take on the subjects of exercise and calories are: Exercise: If you are trying to lose weight then it's a good idea to try to preserve...

    What Are You Tips For Avoiding Muscle Loss During Fasting?

    I almost clicked 'agree' to that but realised that may seem like an insult! What I mean is, "me too"! :)
