    Stop wishing me dead!

    Yea, I have a friend who is Irish but who speaks with a perfect English accent unless he gets one of these guys then he copies an old sketch he saw on TV he answers EVER question with the word 'potato' with different inflections on the word just to see how long he can keep them on the phone.

    Stop wishing me dead!

    hi all, sorry about the title It's just getting a little irritating with in a week of being diagnoised, I've been getting multiple junk emails with titles such as 'if you died today' or 'if you died tomorrow' or even the often repeated 'how would your family cope with your loss' most of them...

    Eye test

    The GP has booked an eye test for me. I have had the letter through with the test date etc now the GP mentioned something about drops in my eyes for the test but the letter doesn't state if I need to take some one with me or not for afterwards. So if someone who has had the test could let me...

    Camomile tea could improve blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes

    I like green tea so may have to try this. Why is it that when every you see 'breakthroughs' like this, you never see a side headline of 'researchers invest heavily in chamomile tea factory' or 'Researchers open up new tea shop proclaims chamomile cures everything' :) you would have thought...

    Courtroom funnies

    I've always liked this one. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why yes I do know you since you were a little boy, and frankly...

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

    To be honest no idea what's going on at the moment. I took a pre-meal reading which said 14.2 even though I hadn't eaten or drunk anything, then took a post meal reading 2 hours later and it was 14.3. My GF's claiming that it's either; A} down to me being weird as normal or B} She has...

    Can I change my user name?

    Totally off topic but does anyone know how I change my user name. I've only just realised its all in caps and looks like I'm shouting at everybody.

    New Meter

    Okay I'm an idiot AND I'm horrified. I know people say to ignore the numbers to start with and this is about the numbers but its also a lesson in checking EVERYTHING. I tested at random got 7.9 tested before my meal got 5.6 (I hadn't eaten all day and had been busy so this was to be expected)...

    New Meter

    My Sd Codefree has just turned up and I've used it for the first time I love how easy it is to use and how with the software I can see the results on my PC (I brought the data cable) but I have no idea if my results are good, bad or just plain ugly. I got a result of 7.9, that's not pre-meal or...

It has to start mid week after everyone has done the school run. preferably about 1pm a Wednesday afternoon, hopefully that way kid zombies get trapped in...

    Depression - Bad Day

    Yeah the doctors got me on 50,000 units a week for ten weeks then he's dropping it to 20,000 units for 6 weeks then it goes back up to 4,000 units a day for another ten weeks as a maintenance level. I swear with all the tablets I'm having to take I feel and I'm sure when I walk I'm starting to...
