And he has an apple in his name! :lol:

Nonsense! Of course it does, when the evidence is proven. "Firstly the "fat in your mouth = fat in your arteries" thing isn't true - paticlarly on a low-carbohydrate diet - and it's much more likely that "carbs in your mouth = fat in your arteries." The words much more likely indicate that it...

Clearly you wouldn't. However, "Big Fruit PLC" are very unlikely to come along and fund a study that is looking into whether or not eating too many bananas gives you diabetes, they are always going to be more interested in funding studies into the benefits of eating fruit. That's not...

I've got as far as Pluto and I still can't find the pale - that's how far it is for me!! :lol: :lol: :lol: I'm all for anything that makes anyone feel better within themselves and positive thinking is great, it really is. But to say you can visualise away an illness........ this forum will...

Ah Jelly Babies! My bestest friends in the world. There's 4.78g carb in a regular size (original) JB. I use them for exercising and have found them to be excellent and reliable, which is good as I am now sick of them. What I have found is that they do not rapidly increase by BG when not...

Good stuff, we're getting there!! What I don't understand is how the machine would work out how much insulin to pump out? Does it administor insulin until it detects the blood sugar levels have returned to normal?

Whoever funds these studies doesn't really bother me. If they are making discoveries that could potentially help control diseases or help us then fair play to them.

Definitions of victim (OED) a person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action a person who has come to feel helpless and passive in the face of misfortune or ill-treatment: a living creature killed as a religious sacrifice If you feel harmed as a...

Viv, The majority of my longer, ranty posts will at some point show me for what I am - a staunch advocator of exercise. However, I do try and always get in that for me, the emphasis is on leading an active lifestyle from an early age as prevention. There are too many overweight children around...

Grazer -"But although 80% of "overweight or obese people" may become T2, over 50% of the GENERAL POPULATION are overweight or obese." Grazer, you kinda lost me with your post :) The stat they roll out is that 80% of T2's are overweight at the time of diagnosis. So, they're not talking about the...

In my eyes, no individual is a burden to the NHS, unless they are in this Country illegally or have never contributed taxes. If you're a smoker, it's not illegal and you're funding the Government. If you're a drinker, it's not illegal and you're funding the Government. If you're obese as a...

DON'T PLUCK YOUR BEARD FOR PLUCK'S SAKE!! Seriously, around 6 years ago I started doing that for noe or two in grown hairs and it only encouraged more. Then, when I was stressed I started doing it more..... then came a very stressful time and more plucking! It looked awful if I didn't shave...

How did you feel about your diagnosis? Relieved - I thought my weight loss and thirst was due to running lots but when I stopped through injury I wasn't drinking as much but needed to pee all the time. I was so certain I had a urine infection or something else going on down there. The actual...

Looks like I could be heading for 9 months too. I spoke to my doc earlier and she said that there was nothing to worry about, all of my results from every previous appointments have been fine and as long as I am not displaying any symptoms then they may start to see me every 9 instead of 6 mths...

My six monthly check was due at the end of May and (after hassling the hospital) have received my appointment today... for the 21st August!! This will mean by the time I get there it will have almost been 9 months since my last check up. I am worried for the following reasons: My feet weren't...

Not sure this is relevant to the opening premise or not but I was listening to radio at lunch and they were talking about the rising price of cocoa due to increased demand from India and China. The cost of chocolate is going to increase as a result and they were discussing how this effects the...

I have a question that I am sure someone clever out there will be able to answer :) Around 18mths ago at my six monthly check up the Doctor asked me where I was injecting my insulin. I told her around my stomach as that's the only place I have enough fat and that I was getting very bruised. She...

Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum I have to admit, I am a little ignorant of pumps as I've never had my doctor or DSN mention them before. From what I've read in other threads I probably wouldn't get one as my HbA1c is always around 6. I've just read a little on them...
