Type 2 Decisions decisions

On hot days if pollen count is high I tend to use the AC in the car switch to internal circulation and keep the windows closed seems to filter out the pollen a bit.

I can't take antihistamine so it helps ease my hay fever.
 
Ok I stand corrected - all I do is travel in a passenger seat air con on full and a bottle of water - never given the workings of things a thought lol Surely sipping water regularly would remedy this - works for me


I did state my initial reservations regarding the comment.

All I know is as a driver, I'd be less inclined to be intermittently drinking fluids... The whole "due care" thang..

Sorry @Jaylee I don't really understand your comment here? Am I missing something?

Incidentally it's just been discussed on the news and if you are out in the heat and sweating it's advisable to double or even treble your fluid intake
 
Nope, just letting you know I felt really bad regarding bringing up the "AC unit thing."
Oh ok lol - it was informative though and as I always say every days a school day

Advice like that could be harmful. All that water could really knock electrolytes out, drink to thirst.

Not my advice I want to add it was on the news, and I suppose it's all relative really, depending on what your normal intake is in the first place - and with today's diet of most people of shed load of carbs and prossessed food they will be getting enough salt anyway I would have thought
 
@Cana - Time and again, you comment you can't do x, y or z because the meds you are taking make you wee a lot. There's no arguing those meds do make you pee a lot, becaause that's exactly what they're designed to do.

It has struck for for some time, that if you are to continue to take meds, then it could be pertinent to have a discussion with your doctor about maybe trying a different medication.

I learned a while ago, there are over 400 combinations of oral medications available to otreat Type 2 diabetes. So, whilst that is combinations, it demonstrates there are highly likely to be options that might give you a more comfortable life, and afford you more flexibility as far as your working days are concerned.

Just thought for consideration.
 
If you have to urinate, you have to urinate.

The more you hang on by not going, is going to stuff your kidneys most probably.
 
@Cana lead the way on advising your pupils stay hydrated and been to toilet before you begin each lesson. Good safety on the road, right?

I go to the toilet between every lesson unless absolutely impossible to do.

I’m not quite sure what the point of your comment is?
