I am a HCP and a cynic. I think the UK goverment is using science and evidence based practice to people from doing things which will probabely not harm them, could even help because they do not want us to take PPE from the NHS, when perhaps the use of simple PPE, ie a mask or face covering could...

I can not bake, the almond cake I tried to make was like frisby, so my favorite is now microwave mug cake, chocolate with berrys, and I can make it in less than 10mins One tablespoon coconut flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder One egg Milk to make it smooth enough Knob of butter Two squares of...

It doesn't help that some are sneaky and the bars or only 90grms. My pet hate is ice cream, the information can be per 100grms or 100mls, when the pot is usually measured in grams.

Talks about diabetes and covid

I think you have to look at the context that most of the deaths are in people over 70 who are likely to have hypertension, and Type 2, and a lot are in care homes, so many will be frail to start off with...

I think you need a copy of your consent form. In surgery especailly when they are unsure what they find when they open you up there is usually a catch all clause, so if they find something that needs removing, like you have a an operation for cancer they will take out any lymph nodes or biopsy...

Going to be boring again and post this, There are charts for download for various foods. https://phcuk.org/sugar/

Like all things you have to get used to them, I used to have to wear them for work, and after a couple of days you forget they are there. I made mine 3weeks ago, there studies as to which fabric is the most effective, but they all act as a barrier. I can not understand why the goverment hasn't...

I dispair at the amount of healthcare professionals that live on a diet of junk food, and are over weight. The very same people who hand out advice about healthy eating. In my experience in working in a setting where at least twice a week the was a massive carbo feast, because someone was...

I was really lucky that I was treated in a specialist centre, so I was able to have the cyst drained by endoscopy where a stent or tube is put in to the stomach wall, and the contents of the cyst drained at first by suction, the 1.5litre. This is instead of opening up the abdomin and a cutting...

I have Type 3C, due to necrotising pancreatitis, on my first scan it says it was totalling necrotic, and I had a 1.5 litre pseudo cyst drained and then it drained further over four weeks.When I had my stent removed they removed necrotic tissue at the same time and sucked out some more gunk. I...

I have been off on long term sickness, I was bank staff so zero hours contract, in a care home. I have been debating going back to work in a non patient contact role. All I can say is when I tried the NHS professionals site being diabetic seems to rule you out, so I would say if you are in any...

Anyone good at stats? https://www.dropbox.com/s/oxmu2rwsnhi9j9c/Draft-COVID-19-Model%20%2813%29.pdf?dl=0&utm_source=Registered+Readers&utm_campaign=94ca715864-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_26_COPY_48&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_146710a7a1-94ca715864-

Most of the people who are admitted into intensive care are over 70 and men, the chances are some will have some sort of diabetes even if its not formally diagnosed, this is without CV-19 and alot of these patients die. ITU have very few patients under the age of sixty, a young person who has...

I can understand why people want testing, but what does it actually do, we are out of the contanment phase? If according to the figures there may be already 10,000 cases, some of which may have little or no symptoms, this is from models from previous epidemics, and data will also be being shared...

Your mum may be trying to reassure herself that you will be OK, just not being expressed very well, as well as reassure you.

I think we in the UK are lucky in that we have a free, at the point of contact, health service. We have no idea how various health care systems affect the outcome. There is a big difference between being a diabetic or having long term conditions in a good health care system and one where...

Its about social responsibilty, you may be under 30 and likely to suffer litttle effect, but you could pass it on to someone else who could end up being very ill. This is a very interesting video about that and other things. What worries me is lack of testing, not so much in the UK, GPs are...

Listened to Dr Michael Moseley on the local news and I still think that low calorie diets are a Trojan horse. Non of these doctors want to be hauled over the coals with the GMC, have a long law suit, perhaps be seen as a Andrew Wakefield, so the safe way to go is whatever they say has to be...

I suffer from post illness, I do not how to discribe it really, I just not as sharpe as I was. I would like to go back to work but I know that at this point, as you say you look well on the outside, I am not back to normal. I am volenteering in charity shop, just a couple of hours at a time, I...
