We're breaking the journey south with a night in Carlisle so will sadly have to pass on this one. Tebay services should offer similar quality English meats which will have to do.

I've been trying to eat low-carb since 2016, but during the last few years, due to illness and increased stress, things slipped a bit, and heigh ho, roll on April 2025's HbA1c of 113 eeek. I immediately cut out cola and sweet things apart from the occasional yogurt or ice cream, and tightened...

I'm too young to have heard Children's Hour, but old enough to listen mostly to Radio 4 these days. They have swearing now so I can't use them as a guide. It's such a minefield. I'm really not mod bashing, I don't know why some people think I am. I just want to understand the rules, or failing...

Thank you @KennyA So basically there is no list of swearwords because they're constantly evolving? How do mods decide whether a word or phrase should be disallowed? I'm genuinely perplexed because as far as I can recall I hadn't used a banned word until today, so I thought my standards...

They're under stress themselves and just don't have or aren't prepared to make enough time for me to have a moan. Yay for small wins. I try to spot positives but I can't see any caused by removing testing supplies from my repeat prescription list. Except that it led me to discover a "request...

The original thread is about my frustrations with my GP surgery. As OP I'm not too concerned by whether it drifts off topic, as it's not intended for anyone else to read for information about how to manage their own diabetes. If anyone wants to add a message of sympathy or practical suggestions...
