Diabetes: Day 1

Glucose molecule.
20th March, 2020.

Right ...

Those of you who read Nik Nak's Old Peculiar on a regular basis?

Will probably realise I usually put in an introductory video in at the start of a post.

At least, I have done for a couple of years, now.

The result of being gifted a desktop with a webcam.

It's made something of a difference to my YouTube channel, I know that.
Viewers get to see more of me ...

At any rate ... ?

I'm out of work.

Recently been given a laptop ... without a webcam.

So I'm in Brentwood Library ... blogging old style ...

~≈¥≈~

Blogging, old style -- at least, pre-camera -- because I've managed to find something out about myself.

After a late call from my GP: about a recent series of blood tests.

She's confirmed I have Diabetes: and started prescriptions of the relevant medication.

A course of pills called Metformin.

From the little I've read up?

That tells me I have type two diabetes, I'm going to have it for life ...

And that I should be OK, given medication, sensible eating and as much healthy exercise as I can manage.

We're going to have to see what happens, on the exercise front.

But if you can suggest healthy snacks?

I'd appreciate any thoughts!

Post a Comment

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
