What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

Ooh - I’ve been edited for moderation. First time. Sorry mods- didn’t mean to break the rules.
That’s a low threshold though. If it means “rubbish” and rhymes with flappy then it’s not allowed.

LOL. glad you explained this , I had it beginning with 'B". and normally associated with red stuff that runs round the body unless you cut yourself when it comes out and makes a mess
 
Morning all -yes, I'm still hanging around this thread like the smell of fried fish in a bedsit. Interesting reading this and the low chat version of this thread while I'm in preseason mode. Strip away the desire for low numbers like some and thanks for numbers not as high as others and an obvious point emerges (YMMV). What eating, movement, sleeping and hydrating regime is repeatable for me/you as an individual? The rest seems to be distraction. Enjoy your weekend and ignore me by all means.

RTFM is spot on in oh so many cases. - I'm not military or ex but I don't understand the concept of "bad" language but there is often boring language for instance when someone overused a phrase or word, expletive or not

@OrsonKartt Lets face it diabetes is one of those things that would make a saint swear and I am no saint. But as you say when over used they lose their effect and meaning.

I’m a saint I definitely do not swear ever ever ever

Ok maybe just a tad I’ll sometimes say
Oh crumbs or crikey me and those are awful words I expect the moderators will edit this post for using such foul language

The site uses Xenforo software so they probably use the 'naughty sheet' which is an automated process that replaces swear words with asterisks. We changed the sheet on my site and had the swear words replaced with Shakesperean insults (you can find them online), much more fun :)

LOL thanks for the enlightenment. I was wondering what on earth could describe canteens and still be **'d out! I'm assuming it was a matter of alliteration between the adjective and the canteen. :D

I've been **'d out twice on this BB, on another forum, for typing author Mr Francis's first name. I learned to get around that this way : F.r.a.n.c.i.s.
 
have to say it's the devils own job keeping everyone happy, but the level of wordage is pretty low, as @rhubarb73 post shows.

I do like the idea of shakespearean quotes instead though.

Hunted did not find..did find this among many others..

which kinda show we all have good in us.

Brilliant- I also like the approach of replacing naughty words with Scottish place names.
As in, “it’s ok to disagree but you don’t have to be a Falkirk Kilmarnock about it, you Motherwell”

I follow a Scottish sci-fi comedy author named Barry Hutchison. In his books he replaces swear words with alternatives and I'm sure some are Scottish, excellent author.

OK I have no idea about that last one, and yet it's very familiar; with a bit of paraphrasing: "... discussing existing faults with DCUK crew: 'Rats! This fruitbat meter!'"
