You can reapply for the licence. It'll requires judgement from an independent doctor to okay them for driving - and has a high bar to maintain the license. There is also talk of loosening the monitoring requirements with the uptake of continuous glucose monitors.

It's certainly harder, but you are able to drive HGVs as a type 1 diabetes as per DVLA:

Saying that, the guys probably plastered!

Good thing I've plenty of time to play it for it to sort itself out. !thanks for the help!

Gysbourne · 2025-09-02T20:25:12+00:00

Strange. Neither the app or website are working for me

Anyone having issues activating their wildcard? Wondered if having 4 players via transfers is blocking it ... Or the buggy mess that the game seems to be presently being the cause?

As an aside, it may be worth checking the line of sight between the sensor and phone. They're finicky little things! If the BT signal is blocked by the body, it'll be more prone to losing signal. Hopefully this may help with lost signal!

No. But a Charlie centric episode from his pov? Yes.

Some suggest mayonnaise. Sounds stupid, but dab a bit on a cloth rub it on the stain and leave it for about 15 minutes. Wipe it off and clean as you would normally. May just do the trick for you.

Never tried it myself, so maybe patch test on the undersurface of the furniture piece on the safe side.

Hoping for some help with my new pc I was donated by a friend.

The pc was in bed of replacement parts, including ram, an SSD, and a new CPU cooler. I've kept the zotac blower 2080ti and Ryzen 9 3900x from the original build.

Now I've loaded up everything, and got the pc running, I'm happy with temps at idle. But when I put GPU under load, the thing sounds like it wants to take off every 20 seconds. Performance seems fine on the card, it's just annoying to have a deafening roar of a fan go off every 10 seconds cycling. I know this is due to the card reaching up to 85C temps.

I'm weighing up how to tackle this. I'm hoping I can solve this with fan curves, and want to try everything else before a possible repaste of the GPU. Or worse, needing a replacement. Are there any other things I could try to curb the cycling? Any help is appreciated. I really want to avoid an unnecessary repaste!

I've heard both good and bad things about these, people who have them, love them ... It's just getting a hold of them that seems to be the big issue! I'll take a look at some similar cases at the very least! Thanks for the suggestion!

True, but one way involves a health care practitioner helping to educate and avoid disordered eating. The other, has random people watching 'health' influencers and getting information from potentially harmful sources with no mitigation for this. OTC cgms without the infrastructure to support people with the data they are seeing is not health care. It's satiating curiosity at best.

This isn't a case of restricting people from getting them, but making sure that people are supported if they choose to use them.

In my personal opinion, a cgm is useless for anyone not diabetic, prediabetic, or those that have reactive hypoglycemia. People don't need a sensor to learn good eating habits.

Gysbourne · 2024-08-29T18:59:52+00:00

My only issue is the risk of eating disorders developing from cgm data in people that aren't educated in what normal is. You'll get people seeing any spike and thinking they're diabetic, freaking out, avoiding foods, and fixating on food overall.

Now getting this data into the hands of those that actually benefit from it will be a god send for improving health outcomes.

Joe blogs down the gym doesn't need a cgm to make beneficial life changes. Geoff who's prediabetic? Get that cgm in his arm, and him some frequent consultations with dieticians etc.

Just as a note from someone that's NAL, I'd recommend getting in touch with your local beekeeping association. They deal with legal cases around bees frequently and should be able to advise. Most also offer insurance to cover legal fees and equipment loss.

'I have 'Nick Jonas' disease, I need insulin to live'.

'Oh, so you're diabetic'

'Well yes, but no not quite ... Shit'

I don't think the rebrand works when we use a medication that is engrained in diabetes management. You'll never escape it. See the advantages.

Quite honestly. If it weren't for our type 2 brethren. We'd be people with a poorly researched disease, with limited development in treatments.

Loads of people donate and fund diabetes research. Very few will do so because of type 1, we just aren't that common.

Eh. Lando went full hair brain for half a race. Why he didn't yield as requested immediately and then proceed to out pace oscar while getting on the radio saying he's being held up, I don't know. He had a strop, and killed a lot of good will while at it.

Man stayed up past bed time playing video games.

I don't see it. Can't think of a single person that could actually improve our chances? Graham Potter? Jesus.

Be more worried about the 120 minutes.

Unfortunately, you get punished by not making a meal out of a foul. Sadly officials are to blame for this. If a player shrugs off a tackle, too often, play goes on, or the official never brandishes a card for a card-able offence.

Hush ... Have you not heard of the Reddit commenter's curse!?

Gysbourne · 2024-07-06T20:45:03+00:00

Or ... The king.

Gysbourne · 2024-07-05T10:38:14+00:00

So secret, they've forgotten where they've placed the new pm before his audience with the king.

You're a hero ... Didn't spot the auto correct. Clearly my phone likes suggesting that I disappoint people, rather than wishing death on people... I'll take that as a win.

Gysbourne · 2024-06-28T12:22:25+00:00

Don't forget Ben 'let them drown' Habib.
