    I have given up

    Ah, if I could afford such things. But knowing my luck I would buy some and then not be able to face it. I do eat a lot of meat. Well, quite a lot.

    I have given up

    Not sure. Everytime my HbA1c goes up I get dark looks and threatened with new drugs or injecting insulin...which, being needle phobic, just wouldn’t work. My diabetes was being managed, if not brilliantly, then...not so bad. But getting to speak to someone who knows is hard especially as my...

    I have given up

    I’ve been told that the medication changes...the only ones they’ll sanction, will result in my having to give up my driving licence which will drive up our car insurance...every thing has a knock on effect.

    I have given up

    No, my answer is that I’ve lost all confidence in myself.

    I have given up

    That’s a nice idea but there’s so little I like that the list would be very short and, unfortunately, what I like today I won’t want tomorrow.

    I have given up

    I don't feel confident about doing anything on a daily basis. My better half looks after me but has to remind me to take meds, eat anything, even dress appropriately...my choice of colours is apparently a bit "strong" lol.. I lost all my confidence in myself many years ago. I went from someone...

    I have given up

    I'm already on the max dose of metformin. Its just food in general. Taking an already restricted spectrum of foods I will eat (including some bad stuff) and then squeezing it even more. Then going back to bad habits, feeling guilty, doing that more, then trying to stop, then just losing...

    I have given up

    I am on the maximum dose of metformin already and other drugs might lead to other issues that I have to avoid in case they cause me more stress. I was doing LCHF so well but my interest in any food is just sinking. Its not that I crave sweet stuff particularly but rather I don't know what to...

    I have given up

    Well I cant take any time off nor be signed off. Works totally manic. We already have three people off and we are snowed under with work which has suddenly gone haywire. Its just how it is and whilst I was off things just exploded. Unfortunately I'm just so disillusioned with the job and other...

    I have given up

    I strived because I had an operation to do it for; a target. But now I just don't feel like I can manage which only makes things worse.

    I have given up

    Yes, the 4th of June. Three weeks or so.

    I have given up

    I couldn't do that> I am exceptionally wary of anything cannabis based as it would go against my exceedingly strong anti-drug beliefs. But I appreciate the point you make.

    I have given up

    Yes, my dieticians appointment was cancelled at under an hours notice last week. Now its 4th June. And my team ?. My team is just me. I was doing just fine in the build up to the operation but now I'm just eating to survive so its anything...within reason..or nothing at all.

    I have given up

    The last couple of weeks I have felt so overwhelmed that I have just given up.. Anyone who read my last, post-operation thread, would have seen what I was eating, purely to eat, and the guilt I felt about letting myself and everyone else down. Its so darned difficult. I have such good...

    2018/19 Football Season

    I agree about refereeing. And as for finals in Asia that just comes down to money and greed. I'm annoyed about footballers on £600K a week who would rather not play than change clubs because no other club would be stupid enough to pay them that. I'm angry that the £600K, a single weeks...

    2018/19 Football Season

    Well.. Administration with MINIMUM 20 point deduction... Three players formally handed in their notice.. Food bank set up for club staff.. You wonder where this will all end!

    What was your bg reading last night and this morning?

    I was half expecting my monitor to throw @ wobbly and shout “cannot compute, cannot compute!”

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    My first test said 33.4! I laughed so hard when I read that... 5.4..eventually...once I’d stopped laughing.

    What was your bg reading last night and this morning?

    33.4! That will be a rogue strip then lol. Never seen one so high. Then a 6.7 because I was stressed lol and finally settled at 5.4 which is more like I was expecting.
