    Any idea of a really light carb snack?

    Pepperami. If you're into spicy ish meat things you can't go wrong with one. 1 carb per stick. =) Or a heap of celery with some cheese, but I don't think that's as tasty.

    You could try that smartprice whisky, it'd probably kill anything.

    Of Booze and this country

    Well that depends, just how much Does anti-freeze cost :| It's 'cause it's summer, nobody has frost on the car so they sell it to bums instead.

    Hi everyone...another newbie here..

    Hey crewegirl. I'd like to second what fergus said - except I think you're unlikely to cry. Unless you start following the carbs thread in the "diabetes discussion" forum. :shock: Hope all goes well with the switch to insulin. I haven't a clue what it involves, but I'll wish you good luck...

    Successful excercise

    Just a quick "I'm proud of myself" - went out for my first post-diagnosis rollerblading session last night, four hours of pushing myself hard (a week off the wheels is too much!) and I only had One very mild hypo, which I noticed and corrected so it seems I got the pre-session carbs right and...

    When you're feelin' low

    Same. Made me laugh :? sorry. In fact the only danger I was ever in of being "oh diabetes, this sucks" and being properly sad got overcome really quickly by me, a couple of my mates and my dad just taking the **** out of me for it. I reckon if you learn to laugh at it, it won't get you down 99%...

    Gah!

    Oh oh you misunderstand. I'm not "not eating meat" - I'm just not eating as much as I was, since I'm not eating as many carbs...trying not to have some huge proportion of my diet as protein. Also I figure high protein would have an effect on the liver - it's the liver that lets you use protein...

    Gah!

    Nah, I only have a little each day - makes up for the amount of meat I'm not eating anymore 'cause of high-protein being bad... Why is that? That's a good point about pre-workout. But I threw all the nesquik away yesterday :shock:

    Favourite comedians/ennes

    Ross Noble. I know he's a bit mainstream, but you can't beat him for surrealism, and I love the way he just makes things up by bouncing off the audience...I'd love to see him twice in two nights. I bet you could count the things he says twice on one hand.

    Gah!

    What's a cross-trainer? On the excercise-related subjects, I got some stuff from myprotein.co.uk to put the pounds back on me. Tastes like **** (60g a day and i have a kilo to use!) The website, which has nothing to do with diabetes, advised to mix the powder with nesquik or similar. FUNNY :x

    Mistypes

    Last time I saw "entomologist" on this forum it was someone (maybe you?) on about how insects are OK if they lose a foot but humans'd be screwed if they did. Now it's someone who types everything perfectly :? what is one, like an experimental zoologist english teacher?

    Crab counting - Bored at the beach? High crab - crustaceans on crack Low crab - crab in need of prozac Crabs per 100g - smallest shellfish ever Crabohydrate - wet crab I need to learn to spell if this diabetes thing is gonna work for me Then again. Better than carb lice, I reckon.

    Pain in lower shins/front ankle when walking

    Yea it probably is shoes, I get this and it Definitely isn't cardioartery-thingy or whatever those AOL guys said. Rollerblading hits your shins horribly sometimes, but I never noticed any pain til I was walking in a shoe with a hard sole (awful cheap things), then it'd jarr up my shin on every...
