Make sure you are testing before you eat as well to get the full picture of how much the food is raising your BG levels. The insulin you are taking could be ok for what you are eating at certain meals but if you are already way too high then you need to adjust. I have good control just now but...

I find that one of the key things that determine how I cope with exercise is whether my BG levels are rising or falling beforehand. I always use jelly babies to keep my sugar levels up during running and, unless there's a specific reason (such as having excess sugar beforehand to increase my BG...

What was your neighbour doing in your bin in the first place? Why didn't they ask you about the paperwork first before contacting your employer???? Sounds like another example of the rotten society we find ourselves living in. had they bothered to knock on your door they might have been able to...

An absolutely horrific story!! The article is confusing however, the DM says that: "However, on 4 November 2010 Margaret began to feel unwell and she recognised the tell-tale signs that her blood glucose levels had risen to a point where she needed medical help. She was admitted to the...

What type of bread is made from a BISON? Buffa-loaf! :lol:

I've started collecting rain in them. If we do vote for Independence up here in Scotland I am going to trade them with drought stricken English counties for proppa saveloys :)

I can't remember the exact stats or be bothered to go digging for them just now but I'm sure that there are more overweight kids at school leaving age than any other. Did they say how old the kids they monitored were? I'm currently watching my 14yr old daughter go from a very active, ready to...

Not likely!! But I did expect someone to answer "Yes, they're all fat" :lol:

Don't judge them on colour, they are all the same inside :)

I need to catch up with this programme over the weekend as I find the above quite amazing. The "years ago" couldn't have been before the gaming/pc/phone revolution!

I don't think it's made to be addictive, I think it's made as cheaply as possible to boost their profits and to satisfy the demands of the consumer for cheaper food. This raises all sorts of sociological and ethical issues. Can you blame people who struggle for money and buy cheap food? Should...

Agree. Along with the fact that we had more to do and think about than our primate friends. The human brain is currently (over the last 5K years) in the process of decreasing in size and this is being attributed to the fact that we are now so much more reliant on other people. Need food, go to...

We're assuming that our ancestors killed the animals themselves. Prior to the development of tools it could very well be the case that we were the scavengers. Also, it begs the question: just how would a tool-less man (we all know a few of those! :)) carve up and take his choice cuts to the cave...

Rod - speaking as a 35 year old who runs a lot - I am in awe! I can only dream of being as active as you at that age! I agree 100% on the benefits of exercise and can only hope that the next few generations to come realise the importance from an early age and not when it's too late or when...

The conventional theory is that running was a by-product of being able to walk on two legs, however, primates have that ability but have not evolved anatomically to run. Looking at the differences between primates and humans shows that we developed shoulders that can rotate free of the head and...

to meet Jill........

Bull.

To add to this: my favourite evolutionary theory is that the driving factor behind our evolution from primate to man was the need to run long distances. Part of the requirement for that to happen was the ability to store fat. So, in agreement with Borofergie it was not the diet that curbed life...

Hmmm.... from the Wiki article - "Although there was some skepticism initially, within several years numerous research groups verified the association of H. pylori with gastritis and, to a lesser extent, ulcers". Doesn't sound too much like ridicule but that the research was soon accepted...
