[B]I'm from UK but I live in New Zealand[/B] - Which city/area do you live in? [B]Waitakere[/B] - Pick three words to describe your personality. Artistic, contented, eccentric - Which sport(s) (if any) do you like/play? [B] I swim every day(or most days)[/B] - Do you get angry easily? [B]Nope. [/B] - List your five favourite musicians/bands. [B]I don't like music [/B] Ever gone camping? [B]Tep, Yorkshire Dales quite regularly when younger and my husband was alive. [/B] - Ever been in love? [B]Of course, several times.[/B] - List your five favourite TV programmes. [B]I don't have a TV.[/B] -- Are you wealthy? [B]Yep. But I don't have much money.[/B] - Do you work? If so, as what? [B]I was an English teacher.[/B] - List the subjects you study/have studied. [B] In the past few years: Forensic Science; British History; Tikanga and Te Reo Maori[/B] - What do you like most about yourself? [B]Pretty much everything.[/B] Are you prepared to answer questions about yourself? [B]Sure, fire away. I was diagnosed diabetic 8 years ago but there were not many lifstyle change for me as I was already eating and doing what was recommended just because that's what suited me. However, I have since cut out wheat (but not because of the diabetes) and if I can avoid sugar of any kind (apart from the occasional fresh fruits) I can also avoid pain. I've not yet met a diabetic who gets a lot of pain if they have sugar (I don't mean refined, or in chocolate - just any form, including from carbs). I tested myself regularly for the first 2 years but the BS levels (in this case, BS mean blood sugar :) although I do admit to BS of another kind) were always good. So I don't bother now. Here's a picture of me in case you want to put a face to the name. Cheers [/B] [/QUOTE]
