Kid you not - at check up with neurology consultant last week (slight peripheral neuropathy is only complication so far), conversation turned to local wineries and did I know the wine merchant around the corner from the hospital? Advised to keep regular alcohol to no more than 1-2 glasses of dry wine per night. Doctor's rationale - enjoying quality of life for as long as possible matters, but especially empathised quality. In an ideal world I would eliminate both caffeine and alcohol - toss up which is harder at present! One step at a time. Neuropathy is stable BTW.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> That said I have routine bloods inc HbAC1 checked once a quarter and fairly detailed checks of just about everything every 6-12 months. Great medical system where I live however I do need to pay privately, but most tests reasonable cost. Longevity would be good but only if it is pleasant!</blockquote>
