Re: Who here is "awake" and has it helped you come to terms Hi, sorry, just noticed your reply. Yeah, I tend to meditate if I'm getting a bit worked up. High sugars can make me a bit stressed and stress makes my sugars high so I used to get locked into a vicious circle. Meditating for a while...

Red wine! That's the answer! I must indulge immediately ;) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Tend to agree with the awesomely named fatbird. Look up the french paradox. They have the highest amount of saturated fat in their diet in Europe, yet have the highest life expectancy! Exercise also shows little to no evidence of assisting with health and longevity. Think of the number of gym...

Its hormones dude. I was dx'd type 1 when I was 11 and 13-19 was the worst for control. Girls, drinking, fitting in and the general mental shitstorm of being a teenager almost certainly had an impact on control. Consultants can be trigger happy with increasing doses etc and can conflict...

Some great tunes there. At the moment, I'm listening to muddy waters' delta mudslide blues. Great sunny day music! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks, I'll make a point of the omega 3 thing. It was savage, the clothes I had on were still soaking in the morning, literally, even my socks! Worst one in all my days! I am beginning to feel a bit sharper again, 10 days later! Will post in a few more days. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks, well the doctor suspects a sinus infection. Not so sure myself but I'll go with the flow. On anti biotics, watch this space! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi, I had an intensely bad experience with a night time hypo last week and haven't felt right since. I sat on my kitchen floor for an hour, I thought my sugars would never go back up! They did eventually but I've felt strangely disoriented since. Dizziness when I stand up too quick or turn round...

Perfect time to meditate and make sense if it all dude. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

God this thread is missing the point totally. And the way some people talk is disgusting. Sheep! Its interesting which side of the fence the nasty ones are on too! I'm out! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Or do they all do their drug runs out of the goodness of their heart to help humanity? :think: Not saying that at all, I was referring to the fact that anyone could grow the medicine, not that drug dealers are white Knights! There's not the profit for big pharma like other drugs!

Just wondering if straying from the flock has helped you spiritually in dealing with the rigors of diabetes? I personally feel that I now put less pressure on myself and that I'm not distracted as much from my personal responsibilities. Namaste Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Well said littlewolf, very well put. And I agree totally with the cannabis v prescribed medication argument. Most of the reasons against cannabis are just psychological stereotypes based on nothing. Schizophrenia is as prevalent in general society as it is among cannabis users, to name but one...

Cannabis being beneficial towards diabetes isn't really up for debate due to the evidence, look at this if you don't believe me! viewtopic.php?t=38174

I'm trying not to get upset at the various directions the same old rhetoric is coming from. As I've said before, the reasons for prohibition were wholly unethical in the first place. Since then stereotypes have been built by the media to depict it in bad light, the same could have been done with...

Hehe, been away from this thread a while now! Its turning a bit mental! Its funny that tobacco ALWAYS gets brought up as an argument for prohibition. Its called clutching at straws! Evidence for tobacco being harmful is in great abundance so fair point. But as people have mentioned, this isn't...

At the end of the day, people develop coping strategies based on circumstances. The very fact people are having to cope suggests a need for a degree of assistance. If that assistance comes in the form of counselling, pills or weed then who are we to judge, who is anyone to judge! Everyone is...

Best of luck to you. Cessation sessions can be really helpful for some people. Sometimes it helps to feel like your not alone! Don't put yourself down too much if you have a blip. Its so addictive that your brain relies on it for certain functions. Fingers crossed for you. Sent from the...
