Do you notice in summer the grass grows long fast? There is a good solution to that. Pour Vodka into a watering can, top the can up with water. Then Sprinkle onto the lawn. It works great. When the grass grows, it grows half cut! :D

Please remember that this thread is all about your average sugar levels (HBa1C) and not about meter testing or Metformin. I wonder when I go at the end of this month, mine will be lower than 6.7%, and weather it will be given to me still as a percentage or the new way (mmol/mol). ...

I agree with that. how can I tell if I'm eating the right foods (and quantities) without testing myself. The only way that I do it is look at the Nutritional info and read on here what how the levels change from other people on here. This obviously does not tell me if I react the same or...

Looking at the calender, I last went to the diabetic clinic on 28th March, and recently I received a letter for an appointment booked 25th October. So basically I go every 6 to 7 months. My T2 is controlled by diet and Metformin, I don't have a meter to check glucose levels (they say I don't...

Re: Riots in London and Birmingham + access to diabetes supp This website give great pics of all the riots. http://photoshoplooter.tumblr.com/ However I don't believe what I see! :D (P.S. Sorry If I've posted this in the wrong section/thread)

The only one that comes to mind is Paul O'Neill, (Touring car Driver and brother of Mel C). However I would imagine he is Type 1 not T2. He was diagnosed in 2004 and had to stop racing, (Racing was licence was temporarily withdrawn) until it the condition was brought under control.

I agree, I can tell the difference between Coke and diet Coke, Also I found Pepsi (Full sugar) tastes sweeter than Coke, which I'm wasn't keen on. before I was diagnosed, I only drank 'Full Fat' Coca-Cola as I wasn't keen on Diet stuff. Now I'm a T2 I have got used to only drinking the diet stuff.

Hay, I've never noticed the chat room until I read this thread. I've been on other forums who have chat rooms and have enjoyed them. Is there any way of showing if there is anybody else in there without logging into it? In other forums, this is displayed next to the chat room link and the...

Before I was diagnosed, it was (full sugar) Coca-Cola. I used to be not so keen on the diet stuff (or any diet Cola). I am now used to the taste of the diet drinks and always order Diet cola in any pubs when I'm driving afterwards. In the last year I think I have drunk only one can of I full...

Twas the week after Christmas (well kind of) I was sent this by e-mail this time last year. I thought it was very good. I think it's appropriate to post it now. Week after Christmas Twas the week after Christmas, and all through the house Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse...

We have not used Tumble drier for 20 years or so. We find the washing line sufficient in summer. The rest of the year we put them in our boiler room. Our old boiler used to give out enough heat in there to dry the clothes. However a few years ago we got a new one and it is so efficient that it...

I would try to avoid no-sugar or diabetic chocolate. these have sugars with names ending in ols (sorbitol, lacticol etc). If you have too much of these, it will make you loose weight...........on the toilet!! :shock: They are a known laxative. I've tried a small bar of Boots Diabetic...

Thanks I did do a search first, honest! :roll: I must have missed this thread.

I don't know how relivent to this thread this is but. I read last year that the units for results of HbA1c test are changing. It is going from a % to millimoles per mol (mmol/mol) From diabetes.org.uk/About_us/News_Landing_Page/Change-in-how-HbA1c-results-are-reported/

In my type of work (Mechanical Fitting), I could, if I wanted to (once trained), work on an oil rig, off-shore. However I have read many conflicting things saying that Diabetics are not aloud to do this. See http://www.diabetes.org.uk/MyLife-YoungAdults/Work-and-study/Job-hunting/ I can...

I went on this Desmond course in Feb/march last your and found it was excellent and very informative, much better then a book or stuff on the net. It was held at my local surgery, so only a 10 min walk away. :) I learned a lot, I think most people on the course were on Metformin and were...

Re: Metformin Side Effects I think those symptoms are side effects of Metformin especially if you have just started on them. However you may have found this out over the last month, since you posted this. For a month or 2 a got a upset stomach with wind, (particularly pungent ones) and...

I loved Jasper Carrot when he did shows on TV. I think my favourite one from Radio is Milton Jones. He is just full of puns. He has appeared on "Mock the Week" a few times and has had a few series of "Another case of Milton Jones" on Radio 4.
