I learned that whilst it didn't take my post prandial above 7.8, I really did not enjoy it, it completely messed up my nice calm stomach and I spent...

    One won't hurt you......

    If I had a £ for every time I've heard that I'd be rich by now.... At what stage do family and friends accept that you don't want it, aren't going to eat it, would rather stab yourself in the eye with a fork before eating their grubby cakes and pasties? My Grandad who was my father figure...
