    Orwell wrote 1984 as a warning but it seems to be used these days as an instruction manual it would appear.

    Do you ride a motorbike?

    Nice to meet you too mate! :) Standard 'Clutch 1 down 4 up' gear system on mine although I feel it could do with an overdrive/6th gear at times...I'm on some some of the Deauville FB pages and a forum and others have said the same about the whole ULEZ thing...Bureaucracy gone mad I reckon...

    Do you ride a motorbike?

    Currently own a 2011 Honda NT700 V which is very comfy long distance,good storage for trips and it has just the right amount of torque when I need it...Wouldn't say no to a 2nd or even a 3rd bike though,perhaps a Triumph Tiger and for pure looks-A Thruxton R cafe racer or a Bobber even. :)

    Not sugary perhaps but you look 'Sweet' to me Mel and remember that God only made a few perfect people...The rest He/She gave a working Endocrine system. (That's what I tell myself anyway) ;):D

    What do u guys think about diabetic chocolate?

    Yep,I'm guilty as charged for doing the same with that one too! Usually with my finger which goes down like a lead balloon with the missus and kids who were planning on making sandwiches with it the next day!

    Yeah,B12 deficiency can literally make you feel like your body is packing up when it's not being treated.

    Type 1 Is this autonomic neuropathy

    I'm tagging another member here,A long term type 1 who I'm pretty sure I've read has to deal with the gastro effects of Autonomic neuropathy although I may be wrong...Obviously no-one here can diagnose but some people with the condition may spot some similarities with what you are describing...

    Mod Elections 2018 - Outcomes

    I agree,I was also sad to see @Mike D wasn't chosen,along with his value as a potential mod in the timezone that would be invaluable to dealing with UK nighttime spam- He's also a very switched on decent guy who could have bought a lot of good to the forum and he also has a good radar for...

    Bread ... why?

    I'll have a pound of Jelly babies please...Not really of course but if nothing is off limits then I'd have to ask if the said individual who could live by the "Nothing is off limits" way of eating is even a diabetic in the first place.:watching:

    Bread ... why?

    As a "Pre-Diabetic" you probably can get away with eating bread and enjoy the versatility of using it in many forms-Many diabetics cannot however without worsening blood glucose levels,myself included so I totally "Get" wrapping fillings in lettuce leaves and the like for snacks and light bites.
