    What does the UK leaving the EU mean for us?

    EU - In or Out + Poll.

    'Imagine the vote is whether we should join the EU' -- i.e. imagine we are not part of the EU and haven't been for the last 45 years. Let's pretend....

    EU - In or Out + Poll.

    I think the key word there is 'Imagine' -- that is what the Brexit campaign is mostly about. Better to focus on the real situation, I think.

    Poll: hardest to keep a straight face

    Some possible responses: Nos. 1, 2 & 8: OK -- you can have it instead then. Enjoy! No.3: Yes it is contagious and I have just infected you. No.4: Yes you're right -- I should have adjusted my genetic code before I was born. **** -- forgot. No.6: If you're so sympathetic why not just buy me some...

    EU - In or Out + Poll.

    Leaving the EU is a massive, massive gamble for this country (regardless of the impact on Europe and the wider world). If you really aren't sure, I would have thought it makes most sense to vote Remain.

    One reason for diabetics to vote Remain

    Diabetes UK has fought in vain for 5 years to persuade the DVLA to lift its ban on giving a license to diabetics who have severe hypoglycaemia when they are asleep. The European Commission has now asked the DVLA to lift the ban. Diabetes UK is calling on the DVLA to act on the European...

    Just as a matter of interest -- how many people have found that their dietician or diabetes nurse has even HEARD of GL? I have yet to meet one who has (I am usually gently corrected - 'You mean 'GI').

    Newly diagnosed

    Hi -- could you just clarify about 'recently diagnosed'? I thought you had been diabetic for longer than that. Or were you pre-diabetic before? Sorry if I've got this wrong.

    Thought I knew better

    Hi. Actually, first task on your list should be getting a BG monitor and test strips, so that you can work out the effect that different foods have on you.. And don't worry about it hurting when you do your testing. You are not a big baby, by the way.The only times it ever hurts me are when...

    Carbs? What's the story....

    You don't need to be doing LCHF to be more careful and discriminating in which fruit you eat. Look at the enormous differences in glycemic index and glycemic load of different fruits. Avoiding certain tropical fruits, or being careful about how much you eat of them, is simply sensible diabetic...

    At which point ...

    With results like that the only thing that you should be harming is your nurse's self-esteem. How are your blood sugars doing?
