I try and take inspiration from my type 1 Uncle who was diagnosed at 14 in the 1960's and is still (relatively) fit & healthy in his 70's

I'm not a type 1, but I treat my type 2 a bit like an addict in recovery - 1 day at a time, today I stayed "sober" took my meds correctly & stuck to my diet. Tomorrow I will attempt to do the same. If I do "fall off the wagon" instead of saying blow it and over indulging for weeks I try to get...

I've had a quick look on Mr Google and it looks as if they were discontinued in 2022, although you can still get the cartridges. Maybe ebay might be your best bet

I sailed Portsmouth - Ouistraham last year, 1st time since rules changed, was camping so car was full of all my gear & was expecting at least a cursory check. They were pulling cars out of the queue into the port once through passport control for a check, but I wasn't one of them. France side...

Unfortunately we don't have a greengrocer in my (reasonably sized) town, so veg has to come from the supermarket, I try to get meat from the butchers, as it's generally of a higher quality, but I'm also a "yellow label" shopper
