[QUOTE="RFSMarch, post: 2338642, member: 410451"] [USER=488270]@SlimLizzy[/USER] Hugs all round - Both my parents were diabetic... Pa was skinny as a rake, golfed every day in his retirement and I suspect was misdiagnosed as T2 and was probably actually T1.5 as he was put straight on insulin, did not pass go, did not get £200...

Hope you find a cooking compromise with MrSlim [USER=374421]@Krystyna23040[/USER] I might have worked in IT for 20 years before crossing to the dark side of journalism (and sports at that!) but the pairing of devices, especially those of the FitBit variety made me use earthy Anglo-saxon that would make a Paratrooper blush! Swipey did an impressive impersonation of a mountain range yesterday but settled down last night, and this morning looked to be relatively steady 6.2 ➡️ Blood letting tomorrow, so going to scuttle out of the house (might have to get out of bed and out of jim-jams) at around 8:20 and see what the bus service is like in terms of space on buses and if it looks ok will get the bus there and back as it is much cheaper an option.
