Exemption or not, anyone not wearing a mask properly is a potential risk to those around them. It is documented that the mandating of mask wearing in Montgomery Alabama, in June (the council vote was overruled by the Mayor to enforce the wearing of masks) has resulted in a halving of the...

I'm beginning to think that getting rid of PHE is a bit like getting rid of a dictator like Saddam Husein for example. What replaces it might be even worse.

I wonder if that will do the work previously done by the Threats, Hazards, Resilience and Contingency Committee (THRCC), a team of senior ministers charged with preparing the country for a pandemic. The committee was suspended by Mrs May to concentrate on Brexit and then scrapped all together...

Are there any figures to back that up. I don't know many who have had covid19 but they all live(d) with their families and were the only ones in the family who caught the virus. A small sample proves very little but I think that when hypothesizing about infection levels rising because people...

Signed. I have several friends who are teachers or teaching assistants, in England, Scotland and Wales. I'm not fully aware of what the rules and regs are but I know they're all worried. The two who are teaching assistants dealing with kids with special needs have taken the decision to call it a...

I hope that your results are the results you hope for, it has nothing to do with luck though. The last one in February looks OK; have you been monitoring since than. That would take the guessing out of HbA1c results. All the best

Interesting, thanks for the info, I will have a look.

I added zinc to my regular Tumeric, Vit D, Vit C, CoQ10

My blood tests for a urologist are just a case of me turning up at local hospital with the forms he has already filled in for the next 12 months. The urine sample I gave because of a UTI was weird in that I had to ring the surgery door bell, take my little pot, fill it, then give it back...

I'm probably repeating what others have said. I started wearing a mask in March. I have a friend in Singapore who has seen more epidemics and pandemics "than I've had hot dinners" to quote a well known phrase or saying. She said 'wear a mask', then I started to do the research and there's a lot...

Welcome to the forum, the nurse would have done better to say eat less carbs. It converts to sugar in the body so it can be looked as being exactly the same as sugar. Most type IIs (include pre-diabetic) are insulin resistant and unfortunately eating the stuff you want to eat which is usually...

Simple, avoid that lot! The HbA1c of 50 was because of what you were eating up to that point. Unfortunately that doesn't mean that you can add some of your old favourites, and not see an increase. No need to be scared or upset, in your own words, "I know why it is". So you know exactly what to...

Thanks for the reference. At least a 50% cut on the recommended 250gms. I was just double checking that when a found an article from the Sun and I quote "The NHS recommends people aim for an average of 30g per day, but most only eat around 18g." Somebody in the proof reading department messed...

It's interesting that Dr David Unwin happily talks about low carb diets while Professor Roy Taylor talks about a low calorie diet. I've been trying to find details of what's in a low calorie diet so I can work out how much carb it contains. Until I get the deatils I'm going out on a limb and...

I think the answer is yes. I'd sooner eat horse than rat hairs, maggots etc although I'm sure they're all perfectly good sources of protein. True, horse meat was banned in the 1930s but was available post war. I've read that Yorkshire was one of those counties where you could buy horse meat.

Thanks for the info. It just goes to show that there are NO circumstances under which we should start trading with any country which has lower standards than ourselves. Having written that I decided to check my "facts". I'd been led to believe that in the U.S. there are certain amounts of rat...

I worked for Mars Incorporated based in Slough from 1995 to 2000 and the Pet food division based in Melton Mobray was entirely separate. There aren't really any by products when making Mars bars. Even the Mars bars that get rejected (there are guidelines for the amount of ripples) go back into...

No problem at all. In my experience I've gained and then lost several kilos in a matter of a week. Water retention has already been mentioned, that is certainly something that can explain what seems like a large gain in a short space of time. Naturally that will also explain a large loss in a...

The fact that daily deaths are falling is wonderful news. I wonder if we are just better at looking after the sickest patients or is the virus weakening. Lots of questions really. I'm more interested in the number of daily infections, shame we can't really get an accurate number, especially as...

No risk? Not completely true! You need to go through the relevant advisory pages. I see some URLs are already listed above. I believe masks are compulsory (good) so there is some risk. I see that there is also some form that has be completed before travel.
