No booze at all today. Thats a rare day.
Know any diabetics ? If you do get them to do a bgl for you. Saves a trip to the doctors. Do it before eating. If its between 3.5 and 8 you are all good. To know definitely then you need to fast for 12 hours and get a blood test but a quick prick and test with a friends machine will give you an indication. If you drink lots of water and are pissing all the time get it checked.I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober

Oh, but I am sick now and my days are numbered
So come ye young men and lay me down
I'm drinking water because I recently decided to end my 20 year Lucozade addiction, and trying to stop all non-alcoholic fizzy drinks. It's shite and my body is really missing all of that sugar. It'll probably be now that I realise I have diabetes.

Yeah i used to check mine every month or so when i was on the ward out of curiosity. At one stage i put on a bit of weight and was drinking lots of water and pissing heaps so i checked it a few times at work. Highest it got was 7.2 which still slightly concerned me so i had a bloodtest and it was fine. Diabetes is not something you want to acquire. You are unlikely to become type 1 as an adult but it can happen but type 2 is very common and quite avoidable with a bit of exercise and a sensible diet. Soft drinks loaded with sugar are a recipe for disaster i reckon. So are some medications like Olanzapine which is a common anti psychotic that causes pretty bad weight gain and can lead to metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.You can buy a BM machine from Boots or any chemist really for fairly cheap...
I bought my own for work as the ones given as standard are prone to breaking and I got this nifty little one the clips onto my belt .
I have on occasion checked my own blood glucose out of nothing but pure boredom....![]()
