Excellent improvisation there, except when they got heavy I would have drunk the wine!!

This what the diabetes community should be doing for everyone who has this condition, we get bashed by the media, and virtually everyone else as "we have done it to ourselves" I think what you are going to do for the group at your Practice is an inspiration. And you will help a lot of people as...

Morning all on yet another windy morning, a 13.1 greeted me when I awoke, but I had suffered a hypo at 4:15am (2.9) and in my still sleepy state must have over calculated my treatment. Ah well the unpredictability train rumbles on. Take care everyone.

I have had diabetes for 23yrs now, and I have had two cataract surgeries (both successful) and Retinopathy in my right eye (eight lots of Laser treatment, which wasn't pleasant but successful) all through my years of diagnosis I have trained with weights. Even competed in strongman competitions...

I used to suffer from terrible cramps after heavy training days, especially in my feet and hamstrings, so bad it tore a hamstring!! I found eating a banana or two whilst training helped a bit (don't know if you are allowed them) but what helped a lot was Dioralyte sachets over the course of the...

First off Good luck @Cumberland, had both my cataracts done and you will be fine, doesn't stop the nerves though. A rather foggy Morning (Again) here but a 5.1 greeted me this morning which was nice. When the storm/strong winds hit be careful everyone. Take care everyone.
