Good Morning, my lovely friends on the www.diabetes.co.uk "Type 2 Life" Forum,

The Tate South Lambeth Public Library near to my flat is open at 9:00 Ante Meridian so I'm able to use the Internet due to my Sky Broadband still being terminated at my home.

My Care Coordinator rang me a few days ago and when I was speaking to her I happened to quote my ADHD susceptibility like I do online. She said I was foolishly mistaken. She said as well as having a bona fide Asperger Syndrome diagnosis, I also, from my Consultant Psychiatrist at the Map Team, have a legitimate diagnosis of Bipolar Affective Disorder, a mental illness with rapid cycling mood swings, flight of ideas, poor monetary sense, delusions of grandeur (when hypomanic), and delusions of persecutory ideation (when in the depression downswing). This explains so much about my monetary vulnerabilities and my struggles to manage my Type II Diabetes Mellitus as well as my difficulties that I experience with letting seemingly untoward "oddball" or "diffident" friends to my home to, as my Care Coordinator, take financial advantage of me.

The Bipolar disorder sufferers are very amicable, friendly but a bit hypersensitive and gullibly naïve, hence my recent "Sky" problem which transpired after I let a very manipulative, financially advantageous friend into my flat to abuse my landline telephone by calling her family in Greece on various mobile telephones. Some of the naivety could be attributed to my Asperger Syndrome too of which I am moderate to severe.

I didn't eat as much as usual yesterday but a something to prevent hypoglycaemias in the form of a Roast Chicken Dinner Ready Meal and a couple of Marmite sandwiches.

My blood glucose readings this morning at approximately 7:30 Ante Meridian after two mugs of coffee with Coffeemate and 2 sugars each and then 5.2 mmol at approximately 8:30 Ante Meridian.

Have a lovely day, my friends. It's a bit cooler here in Stockwell, London than it has been, but I am sure it will warm up soon. There has been light, unclement drizzle but nothing major and the blue of the sky is trying to blow all the rainclouds away making it the start of a lovely August weekend.

Much love and Best Wishes

Hi Johnny. I'm sorry to hear that things are so challenging for you at the moment, but - as you say - at least this new diagnosis helps you to understand why you have experienced some of the problems. Sending you big hugs x

The layout has changed Maureen, I think that's why there were some problems logging on the other day. Have you tried logging on with a larger piece of hardware like a laptop or computer? I don't want you to leave, you're part of the T2L family. It's taking some getting used to on my tablet but I will persist because I value my friends on here so much
 
Morning all! It's a very misty morning, here at the holiday loch, and a much slower start to the day (which I'm rather liking - I always used to be able to lie in really easily but not so much in the last couple of years or so.) So, FBGs have not been so good this past week or so, but day-time and evening much as at home, which pleases me.

I'm pondering if Scottish Rural Miles need to count as at least 3 English Urban Miles. I've done nowhere near the distance I can do at home, but my legs are telling me very gently they know I'm making the work a bit harder.

It's been a treat to have television (I don't have one at home, as I have always watched very little even when I've had one in the last, though if I've got to have a TV licence to access anything on iPlayer from 1st September, this may well change. I was less than impressed to have a licence this year to discover most films don't get shown via the internet and a notice of "You've got to watch this on a TV") and I am declaring my totally favourite moment of the Olympics is Nick Skelton's gold medal. Which made me cry.

Good thoughts and best wishes to all those struggling healthwise at the moment.

They are working on the problem. Like you I use my phone as well .

Guys the problem with the site is recognised and the tech guys are working on it. There is also a message confirming this is at the top of each page I open.

The site may need to be rebooted at some stage, so if that happens, just be patient and allow the site to come back online.

Admin and the techies are working to resolve matters asap. Please be patient.

I think I have that @eddie1968 . Did specialist test you for that?
I have flare ups then not. Irratic bgs and irratic stomach bloating. Blockages. Sugar free candy rock can help, sometimes.

Maybe the mint in it. Try some hot peppermint tea. You'll probs need sweeteners in it though I sometimes do use sugar (but I know my bgs won't go drastically high
 
I'm totally fed up with the glitch. Stresses me out. Haven't the time nor patience.
For the love of my diabetic friends only am I posting. ♡♥♡ ;)
