I'll tell you this it makes a big difference to me in waking up feeling refreshed. Since I stopped caning and watched my sugar intake I feel so much better. I honestly thought that the tiredness was due to the chemo however; some of it may well have been due to diabetes.
I don't intend returning to examine the issue but will as always look to the future, and be thankful for who and where I am now!
Yesterday (Wednesday) was a day of appointments, and ended up quite busy,
My first was with the PMO in Fleetlands. I was chauffeured by Tom Money (VMT Tom) and was able to meet a few of the guys whilst I was there - Fantastic!
From there I had to hot foot it to Gregson Surgery for my date with the Diabetic Nursie.
She was lovely and gave me lots of info (and a free testing kit). I am being treated for Type 2 Diabetes with tablets for now (Metformin).
As I said earlier, my wife Maria is fully swept up on this subject, and although I have every confidence in her stewardship of me, its nice to know as much as possible.
I have a lot to learn from her and others as I've never needed to know much about this subject before.
Maria left for the forest in the afternoon for a hair appointment so I was left to my own devices for a while.
My good friend Tim and his Daughter Phoebe came for a visit and it was lovely to see them. Phoebe has just returned from a visit to Australia with her Nan and regaled me with her news and photos etc - Fantastic. why we all stay in the UK is beyond me.
I was too young for the £10 pommie scheme in the late 60's and early 70's otherwise who knows?
Maria returned late evening with a freshly sharpened and laundered head, and clutching a rake of diabetic cookbooks.
food for thought then
ciao bloggers
see you in the kitchen
