    Pets?

    Urgent(ish) Question!!

    Any suggestions of what to have with porridge

    I second the cinnamon! It's lovely on porridge with Asdas sweetener (with the yellow lid, I don't remember what it's called); which is pretty much Splenda at a fraction of the price! A teaspoon of sugar free/low sugar (whichever you find you can tolerate better) jam is lovely as well.

    Whats the most annoying thing people say about diabetes?

    I get something similar from my mother, although it's not about diabetes. I suffer with depression and any (and every) time I'm a bit quiet or feeling a bit introverted she says "oh you're feeling down?" "it's because you've come off of some of your meds"... ARGH!! Then again if I so much as...
