Fast Acting Carbs aren't fast

I have always been told it can take as long as 30+ minutes. What do you use for fast acting carbs? Lucozade or gatorade is good if you swiggle it around your mouth for a while - the sugars get abso...

Ok so I've just seen this is it. I've been such a big MJ fan since my cousin bought me his Dangerous album on cassette when I was a kid. I've always loved the guy and when he died it truly felt like a family member had gone. I have cried tears ove...

Hi Gus. I was on mirtazapine for 6 months but found that it didn't do anything with my depression/anxiety/motivation but it did help me sleep, but then always left me tired. I've been on 60mg of cymbalta for 5 days now and so far Im feeling fine. ...

Ok so I've just seen this is it. I've been such a big MJ fan since my cousin bought me his Dangerous album on cassette when I was a kid. I've always loved the guy and when he died it truly felt like a family member had gone. I have cried tears over the loss, and now, I have that lump in my throat again.

The show that he was planning would have been absolutely spectacular - those rehersals would probably beat most live concerts for a start! But what really got me wasn't how good it was (I always… Continue

So heres the introduction (continued)...

Chapter 2
Endless love

‘Imagine that you were never put on earth,’ Jenny pensively suggested to Stuart on a cool summer’s evening. ‘Think of the stars that you would never have seen, the beauty that they give to the world. Imagine the green leaves you never would have gazed at blowing in the warm summer’s breeze. You must never tell yourself that you don’t belong here. Whether we were put here by God, or we magically appeared in a ball of flames, you are here for a reason- and eve… Continue

So heres the introduction...

So first of all I want to show you part of a story...

Prologue

It was Stuart’s mind that he had so often followed throughout his extensive and up until now, meaningless life. That had all changed with the tragic death of a person Stuart did not even know. Stuart often found that life was full of irony, and it was inconceivable to him that after a lifetime of searching for answers as to who he was, the realization of what he was living for- from the depth of his heart- would become appar… Continue

Hey you, a fellow UK diabetic....YAY sorry for the delayed reply, don't seem to get on here much.
Yeah, my last result was not great, hoping it's gone down a bit now i'm pumping away. The pump is great, i'm still getting used to it and getting high readings now & again but it's so convenient compared to injections. I was on the waiting list for a while but then it all happened kind of quickly. Are you keen to go on it? Hope your well x
