, Thanks Barb McD, not all roses though, but it keeps me going.
You live in lovely part of Ireland, been there with the Rallying Crowd.

the doctor reminded me yesterday that its 15 years since I was diagnosed T2, firstly on diet then on Metformin, then more Metformin, Gliclazide, Trajenta - so now I cycle, 200 / 250 miles a week in the summer, nothing at present as I had a serious accident on my bike 3 weeks ag. The cycling and a LC diet has bought the HBa1C down to 6.5%, my new Abbot Libre BG meter tells me it might be 6.3% next time,

Macroform, Kevin MacLeod, TOGoS, Silent Partner and Kris Kristofferson. None. None. Yeah, when I was like 7 or 8 or so. Always ends badly. No. England (UK), Scotland (UK), Canada, France, US (for 200 minutes...), and Spain. Whitehorse because it's cold. No. No. No. Disabled due to autism. I dropped out of secondary school in year 9 (known as grade 9 here in Canada). I don't know. I don't know.
