    Surviving without insulin

    How long can I reasonably expect to survive without insulin given that doc prescribed me 6 units a day and the last injection was Thursday night (usually do it about 10pm). Basically I moved from London to Wigan but forgot to pack the insulin. I had my sister send it by Special Delivery...

    Do you weigh yourself every day?

    Okay I have arrived in the UK and am quarantined at my sister’s house. There’s barely enough room to swing a cat though my son and I have some resistance bands and a pair of dumbbells. He’s a soccer player and almost 17. Of course family are plying me with food, none of them are diabetic though...

    Are injuries treated differently?

    Recently I was lucky enough to collide with a pedestrian and received a bit of road rash. The emergency room cleaned it up and put a dressing on it. Two weeks later the scab detached itself and I have another scar on my elbow to tell whoppers about. But the doctor insisted that a new dressing...

    Are you going to get vaccinated?

    This bloke thinks he won’t (paywall). In your case, is there any reason to believe that vaccination will interfere with your medication or following lifestyle? Henry Slade exclusive: 'I am not going to have a Covid vaccine - I don't agree with it all'

    Air travel with medication

    Fortunately until now I have never needed to travel with medication. Do airport security/border control agents require me to produce any kind of documentation proving that the drugs are required by me? I don’t imagine that they are controlled substances since my current country of residence...

    Foods/supplements which promote bone knitting?

    So this weekend while out on a ride, I contrived to break my ischium (yes I had to look it up too). Doc says I need to spend at least 4 weeks immobile for the bone to knit. I am coming back to the UK around June 20th so need to ensure the bone repairs itself in good time. I know rehab follows...

    If you live in a country which is prone to natural disasters...

    ...then where do you keep your supplies?Specifically insulin, as it is supposed to be stored at 2-8 degrees C. Where I live, earthquakes are fairly common but in 2 decades nothing has caused any damage to the house. However, best to be on the safe side, right? If it didn’t require cold storage...

    My girlfiend

    So I've been seeing this girl for a few months, we have a kind of flirty, but platonic relationship. She said to me one day 'hey you know, we've been dating for a while. Why haven't you tried to get into my knickers yet?' 'Well I didn't think there would be room for both of us'

    How many of you use a road id?

    Likely I would have to get it bilingual. I’m also slightly concerned about privacy, like the next-of-kin being on display to all and sundry. Are any designs covering the info without being counterproductive?

    Vending machine fare

    Alongside the various coffees and teas, just got this out of a machine. It is the sweetened variety, but it probably won’t kill me. Famous last words
