Do you have a question you’d like me to pose in a poll? If so, please send your question to me and I’ll put it on the list.
Sigh. So I had to go for a fasting blood test this morning which meant getting the baby up and giving him his breakfast, getting him dressed, wrangling him in the car, hauling him into Labtests, balancing him between my feet while the blood test was carried out so he didn’t try to grab the needle, getting him home, playing with him and waiting for him to have his morning sleep before I got to eat my breakfast…. in the middle of this I had a hypo.
Had breakfast (the usual), bolused (the usual) then got on with all the other chores which had been waiting for me while I completed my four days at work. One hour passed, my…
I see that Reuters (and many other sites) have reported that an implant has been tested in pigs which measures and transmits blood glucose levels wirelessly. It’s not exactly mentioned where ultimately this would be transmitted to, but there is a mention of cellphones.
Apparently this has been tested in pigs and worked in one for a year, the other for ten months – wahey! The not-so-wahey bit is that the implant is actually 3.8 by 12.7 cm – where on earth are they implanting that puppy?! Crikey!

Ask any punter on the street the question, “what foods should people with diabetes avoid?” and you’ll get the predictable replies like “sweets”; “biscuits”; “fizzy drink”; “cake” etc. What you are unlikely to hear is the list of those really unpredictable things like pizza, Thai, fish and chips and Chinese.
I have to admit I was as clueless as all the rest until a couple of years ago when I really started to actually monitor my BGs. And now I have a new one to add to the list: laksa. My husband makes a mean laksa (after flatting with a Malaysian chap many years ago, he has the dish down to a fine art). We had it for dinner a…
