Thank you very much indeed, my lovely friend on the Diabetes Forum, @Diamum5972, and a very good morning to you. Yes, it was delicious, superbly wonderful. I think that's the essence of having Asperger Syndrome, meticulousness, perfectionism and eye for detail. I was very methodical in my approach to the meal preparation, measuring the right proportion of vegetables, potatoes (I cheated, I used the Sainsbury's £1.10 pre-cooked frozen roast potatoes!), and cooking the Beef on a moderate heat (160 Degrees Celsius), checking it every half an hour and basting it an tilting the pan so that all the fat would be extracted. I also roasted it in this moderately heated oven in aluminium foil so that the steam and fat would permeate the meat, hence tenderising it and giving it flavour. Plus the seasoning; just half a teaspoon of fresh sea salt distributed in a shaking motion all over the surface of the meat and a good distribution of ground black pepper from my pepper mill, not to mention an even, but not over-abundant, distribution of dried thyme.Your dinner sounds lovely @JohnnyBaker12021970 , I cooked a roast yesterday as well. It's my son's birthday tomorrow so my mum and 2 brothers visited us. I cooked a roast chicken with cauliflower peas and carrots for me and mum and Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes for the boys. Mum is also diabetic so she's trying to reduce her carbohydrate intake. I hope your friends appreciated your lovely cooking!
Mmmm, you have my mouth watering, Johnny - I am going to have to try your tip with the roast potatoes...Thank you very much indeed, my lovely friend on the Diabetes Forum, @Diamum5972, and a very good morning to you.

And last night I roasted a medium-sized pork joint, scoring the skin, and painting with a pastry brush onto the skin a little sunflower oil (but not too much as to make it too greasy) and a pinch of salt and finely ground black pepper to make the crackling. I cooked it also on a moderate heat (160 degrees Celsius), checking at 30-minute intervals. I roasted some frozen roast potatoes, in a moderately sized roasting tin, taking my dear friend Ioanna's tip, of seasoning the potatoes with half a teaspoon of sea salt distributed evenly over each potato and finely ground black pepper and a sprinkling of dried thyme plus three-quarters of a mug of cold water, which gives the potatoes a lovely, smooth, slightly, but not overwhelmingly, moist consistency and texture and once the water has evaporated in the hot oven enables the potatoes to turn a beautiful, golden, crispy colour and texture, plus they don't stick to the roasting pan so much and that saves arduous and toilsome scrubbing whenst washing up the pan. As well as roasting the pork with crackling and roasting potatoes I lightly steamed some asparagus, courgettes and broccoli florets. I put a dinner up for Ioanna and her friend who is caring for her throughout her foot injury since it's been in a cast.
Much love to you, dear @Diamum5972, and your lovely son Michael and to all my awesome friends from the Diabetes Forum at http://www.diabetes.co.uk.

Morning Vicky. Well Ron had pain clinic and like I told you I was going to take him to A&E to get him checked out like gp had told Ron to do a couple of weeks ago. Only on the way to hospital Ron started getting chest pain and then a couple more when we were at the clinic . So when we left I said to Ron . He has two choices either we go home or get him checked. He wasn't bothered so of to A&E we went . Getting him booked in he had another really big chest pain. Ron was called straight in. They kept him there for the rest of the day . Did tests and then on to ward . I went home but came back later as he was being let home . Got to go back this morning to collect new meds and discharge letter. He will be getting an appointment through to see cargiologist in outpatient more regularly he's been told . Last time Ron saw him was back in mayOf bless him, and you.
Are you both still in hospital? Has he had another heart attack?

5.2 is perfect.My Fasting Blood Glucose Reading, today, Tuesday 5th September 2017 Anno Domini at 9:42 Ante Meridian British Summer Time after my morning administration of my Lixisenatide Glucagon-Like Peptide subcutaneous Incretin Mimetic Injection of 20 micro grammes and my 1000 milligrammes of Metformin Hydrochloride and other vital medications imperative for my health conditions was 5.2 Millimoles Per Litre. I haven't had any instant coffee yet, but I have drunk 3 glasses of tap water.
They have increased his Isosorbide mononitrate to 60mg and have also put him on bisoprolol 2.5 mg . They have prescribed him a statin but he won't take it lol.No mention of a heart attack being confirmed?
Sounds like his angina must be getting worse so he needs more observation.
I'm relieved no heart attacks. But it could have been fatal for him. I'm just soooo relieved for you both.
I think meds can be changed as Angina gets worse. I wonder what cardiologist will advise to reduce risks of angina attacks?
I wish I knew more about angina. My grandmother had it due to old age. I wonder why Ron has it?
Keep an eye on him for low blood pressure hun. His breathing may get worse as Bisoprolol causes mine. Tiredness too. It can be worse on first using until body get used to these meds. Isosorbide mononitrate is angina preventer but not reliever.They have increased his Isosibide mononitrate to 60mg and have also put him on bisoprolol 2.5 mg .

No just to contact gp if he gets a headacheKeep an eye on him for low blood pressure hun. His breathing may get worse as Bisoprolol causes mine. Tiredness too. It can be worse on first using until body get used to these meds. Isosorbide mononitrate is angina preventer but not reliever.
Have you been asked to make a note of any first chest pains? Or call 999 if chest pains again?
I'm so sorry to hear about my lovely friend, @eldergarth, @tina_marie, my lovely friend. I agree with @debrasue, it does sound hopeful that the health care professionals involved in his care sent him home, but @ickihun's advice also sounds awesome when she advised to keep an eye on him and look out for any signs of respiratory abnormalities and tiredness, as side effects of the medication he is taking. I prayed for @eldergarth and I believe that Jesus has his healing hands on him. But to keep an eye on him, make a note of any early chest pains and dial 999 are all good strategies as @eldergarth (my dear friend, Ron) is diabetic and it's good to be conscious of an action plan to fall back on and comply with to prevent any further health complications of this disease. God bless you, @tina_marie and give @eldergarth a big hug from me.No just to contact gp if he gets a headache

Thank you so much. This morning he's seeing his cardiologist , but getting up was a problem as he couldn't move his left arm . So therefore he couldn't use his normal aids so I've had to help .I'm so sorry to hear about my lovely friend, @eldergarth, @tina_marie, my lovely friend.
