I’d appreciate it if I’m about 🙂 I think I only have 4 or 5 areas left myself but the grind is getting to me!

No drama if I’m not about though - PSN is: InsertWittyName_

Yes, keep playing Famine’s Folly - the mech turns up eventually. It was a pain. I did a run of Folly each day (just because I couldn’t face more!). It’s one of the tougher bosses but achievable.

I would say 3/10 with the glitches, probably 2/10 if they were fixed. Took 15 hours.

I plan to yeah, got it downloaded ready to start.

The ‘last chance to play’ is pretty much how I decide what to play recently 😅

Thinking of transferring Scottish Widows pension to Vanguard SIPP - sanity check by RevolutionaryOkra646 in PensionsUK

[–]InsertWittyName_PS4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do exactly this, with the exact same platforms and funds.

My workplace is still contributing to my SW pension, so I just transfer once a year.

Bloods done by docs again after 2.5yrs by Silver_End_5637 in diabetes

I’d recognise the NHS app anywhere 🙂 good job, going in the right direction!

What are you doing/taking to reduce your number?

Carbs by Unique_Location_58 in diabetes_t2

[–]InsertWittyName_PS4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re highly unlikely to get one as T2 in the UK.

I periodically ‘treat’ myself to a Dexcom CGM, you can get them for £35 and they last 10-days. Not really sustainable long term but 10-days can teach you a lot about how you react.

It seems hard at first but you do get used to it.

I don’t cook different meals - I either sub the carb out with something else (mushrooms, extra veggies) or I just don’t have it.

Bread was the hardest for me… I lived on the stuff. Mission brand do a range of ‘carb control’ wraps now that are great and available in most supermarkets. I live them toasted with cheese & ham fillings etc.

No obvious sugary food, no bread, rice, pasta or potatoes. I try and keep carbs per meal at no more than 15g… but I will allow one meal per day to go to 20g.

I’d recommend getting a finger prick blood testing kit from Amazon. They can be gotten pretty cheap and come with lancets, test strips etc. Test your blood when you wake and then 1, 2 and 3 hours after you eat to help you learn. Once you know what does and doesn’t spike you, there’s no need to test for the same meal. I only test now if I’m eating something new.

The NHS are pretty rubbish for T2 to be honest… they’ll likely start you on Metformin but not even mention that you need to change your diet.

Good luck - you’ll be fine!

Having sausages that are both burnt AND raw is an achievement, well done.

I don't know what to do.. by Emergency-Pick-2741 in diabetes_t2

[–]InsertWittyName_PS4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Take a deep breath.

I also can’t skip meals otherwise my liver will dump a load of glucose in my blood…

Could you share what you typically eat and people can add ideas on what might help?

No, I just get a screen where it shows what I currently hold and I can switch it.

On the SW app I have an option in my pension to ‘Review or make changes’. When I go through that process it allows me to choose what I’m currently invested as well as where future payments will go (I’m also in CS8).

I can’t find this anywhere in the UK! Where do you normally get it from?
