Photography is my hobby too..... I have a flickr account which I havent added to for a couple of years, most of my togging is now done on a fuji x100 and is mainly my 5 year ild daughter when I can get her to stand still for more than 2 seconds! I have a cannon DSLR and some nice lenses, but...

I didn't quite understand that @borderter......have you had some problems??

In todays daily fail they are mentioning that pioglitazone is banned in France and has been dropped in Germany. I don't know whether to be worried by this

Well done with the flower shots Pavlos. I like the shallow depth of field shots to make the blooms stand out, and Im getting jealous of the Spring colours (and warmth!)

I have worn Polo since the 80's.......... Creed's 'Green Irish Tweed' is a favourite, but its just too expensive! At the moment I use the body shop's 'Red Musk' oil even though its marketed as a womans scent, I really like the smell.

The last time I was in Dubai was the late 80's, and spent New Years eve in The red lion bar in the metropole hotel. As the duty Royal Navy warship on patrol at the time, the priority was ti find somewhere in the UAE to get a beer, so paying the exorbitant ticket price of £45 wasn't an option. As...

After having an early dinner yesterday, and then getting hungry again whilst watching a film at 2130 we shared a frozen pizza. Three slices and medium glass of red. Woke up this morning to 5.2.....I was expecting something in the 7's after late carbs.....go figure!

Now then, young 'un....... Fellow loiner, type 2 and also low carbish Welcome to the forum, and to borrow a phrase were all 'Marching on together'

I found the second week was the hurdle, always hungry (the body's reaction to a determined effort to keep below 800 calories a day). It got easier in week three, and weeks 4 and 5 were routine. Dont label @douglass99 as the forum's Clarkson (I think Clarkson is a tool!)

Congratulations on the excellent results, the good intentions and hard work is paying off! Along with many others I love sharing your diary, getting vicariously warm from your sunshine! My wife is American, and I have to suffer living in Santas Grotto from thanksgiving at the end of November, so...

You seem well able to stick to the rgours of the diet, Douglas. What are your targets, or do you aim to complete the 8 weeks and see what turns up? I stopped after 5 weeks as I hit my targets and apart from one Kilo back on, Ive maintained the results for a month or so now. Good Luck!

As i only get strips prescribed twice a year ( its better than some, I suppose!) I have bought the code free Meter and am currently using both meters at the same time to asses the differences in readings. I'm surprised at the results though.....anything up to 0.6 higher with the codefree against...

As an update, I stopped the ND at the end of week 5 as my BG was more or less constantly in the 5s on waking, and 2 hours after eating. Blood pressure had dropped to 100/65. I considered that to be sufficient to be able to eat again! So for the last couple of weeks I have followed a LCHF way of...

excellent post!...will you be keeping this thread (so I can 'favourite' it) or doing a new one with each new posting?

I have read and understand what a liver dump is, but I am struggling to understand what the risks/wories are I have a fairly reasonable control throughout the day, ranging from 4.8 to 5.5, but almost always have a fasting reading of 5.8 to 6.4 ( i take a reading after I have been up for half an...

5.2 this morning, the only problem is that my blood pressure is dropping as well (100/60 against a norm of 120/70 with medication) so I can get a bit dizzy when standing up quickly!

5.7 this morning, week 4 of the newcastle diet and things are still going well!

Care to share the group!?!

Just think of the day the house will be finished........ Then you can start on the garden!!
