    Anyone had odd A1c after chemo?

    Love your cat! My diabetes nurse and I came to the same conclusion. I shall ring the special nurse at haematology (Faith) tomorrow. Still have to meet Hope and Charity, specially Charity.. I've been missing for a few days. I have had two crashes on two machines since last week. One Windows 7...

    Anyone had odd A1c after chemo?

    Hi All, My HbA1c tends to be just under 40. I have been a bit sloppy LCHF wise this year due to cancer treatments - pronounced all clear on 24 July. Blood samples for autumn HbA1c taken 8 September. Result 25!!!! Anyone aware that chemo / radio therapy and the anti-virus and anti-bacterial...

    First visit to Diabetes Nurse.

    I got that manual (I think) but don't hold your breath, it's not as long (or as useful) as Daisy's intro. I'm expecting my HbA1c to go up in September because of the year I've had. I don't think I can describe myself as LCHF anymore. I take carbs, (including no more than 80 - 100g of chips!)...

    Nope and I think it unlikely.

    1968 was the year I got married. Hence 'getting drunk'. Wasn't Denis Healey appointed Minister for Floods' in 1975 and then 'Minister for Drought' in 1976?

    Diet control

    Before I started watching my carbs I did a few calcs and I believe my carb intake was 300+g a day. With little guidance I decided to drop that to 150g or less. Just a few months later I had lost 2.5 stones, shed 2 or 3 inches off my waist and brought my HbA1c down to the high 30s. I believe the...

    pesky bugs

    Hi Mep, Made me smile too, but I can't think why. Our small rural estate is surrounded, just about, by farmland and the little flies seem to vary according to the crops planted in the fields. In the 1970s it was all barley. I remember coming home one day to find a black band about 9 inches wide...

    Daily thoughts

    I have just two stories about cats. Both true.. We had a fierce tom called Timmy. Incredibly sharp claws and teeth. Every morning (the wife would let him in) he'd wait for me on the stairs and as I passed him, in thin pjs, he launch himself at my back with all his claws out. The number of hot...

    Thanks Robin, I'm getting careless. Where do any messages sent thus arrive? Is there somewhere to collect them on the forum, or do they come through as email? J.

    Tried both Chris. Wouldn't mind so much if I knew what I'd done that was so terrible. Just a few sharpish words by email.

    Hi, I have to say your avatar concerns me a bit. That said I certainly ain't an oil painting myself. Sorry for delay in replying. I've launched into some alterations at home. It means my main machine has remained untouched for about a week. Just come onto the forum from my laptop and promptly...

    Any woman fancy becoming an Opera Buddy?

    Looking back on my first post above, perhaps I should point out that the tickets I hold are only for 8 shows. 7 opera, 1 classical. Spread over the period September to next May. There is a big gap from late November through to next March which bunches them up a bit, on two occasions (autumn)...

    Send him over and I'll have a look Brun :-) No, I don't think that would work and it would probably be more difficult to find a fella than a Shiela..

    That'll be a military band then. I like those too Capn. I did say I'd got drunk.. Just shows, it's the sleep that does it. Went to bed feeling great. Got up feeling dreadful :-)
