    Flying with medication - especially insulin!!

    I take 20 plus tablets a day. I have never had any airline or airport bat an eyelid at whats in my hand luggage. I never take the boxes the meds come in as they take up so much space but simply carry a copy of my prescription with me. I have flown with Virgin-no problem and having been through...

    2018/19 Football Season

    Depends. Yesterday we played well and lost. We don’t play well often enough and the squad needs a complete overhaul. I just don’t trust us to score enough.

    Low carb high fat. Anyone been Type 2 for more than a few years?

    I’m not cultish. I don’t display fervour. I don’t do fads. I don’t do diets, as such. I have gone moderately low carb high fat and watched the weight drop. My blood sugars are lower. That’s it. What works for others doesn’t necessarily work for me and vise versa. I would never tell anyone to...

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Are brief high sugar spikes OK?

    I wouldn't rely on my meds to get me through. I'm Autistic. Occasionally I lapse (Yep, I am looking at you Chinese from last evening!) but I have had to force myself to engage with foods outside of what is already a narrow diet. I had a sweet tooth. Now I don't eat sweets/cakes/pastries. Yes of...

    I stumbled across Devin Townsend over the weekend. Canadian vocalist/guitarist - pretty heavy but do check out "Kingdom"- incredible voice

    Is it normal for blood glucose to rise during exercise?

    I cant say because, after exercise, mine goes down... But I note the small banana ...full of sugar..which may account for a spike even after exercise ?.

    Type 1 Vision test

    I haven't done that test but have had similar tests at my opticians, always with glasses off. I have a small blind spot (apparently) but hey, you can only do your best. Good luck.

    Realised there’s nothing I enjoy eating..

    Interesting. I don’t think my mouth is dry. I think it’s almost too sensitive, it picks up the subtleties and if one of those is too much it upsets my appetite. And I can’t do bland either. It’s a very fine balancing act.

    Realised there’s nothing I enjoy eating..

    It’s all a sensory thing. I’m eating but just not very much.

    Ah, can’t see them for three weeks as it’s not an emergency. Just have to exist as best I can.

    Realised there’s nothing I enjoy eating..

    I do fast quite frequently. Went 24 hours without food last week and 18 at the weekend. It didn’t seem to work. I just don’t feel like food is enjoyable.

    Realised there’s nothing I enjoy eating..

    I have cheese and ham for lunch..as part of a dire salad. Can’t do chilli or herbs/spices. Oh, and no Salmon. Just no. In honesty I’m just not into food. Even the thought of it makes me nauseous.

    I didn’t eat. Can’t do spices.

    Realised there’s nothing I enjoy eating..

    None of them seem to mention appetite. Vague waffling about weight gain and weight loss, sometimes with the same drug. And constipation and diarrhoea...which seems a little difficult to manage at once.. I think it’s just me to be honest.

    Realised there’s nothing I enjoy eating..

    I stuck a chop under the grill. Throw veg in a saucepan. Not cooking..at least not to my mind.
