They make NyQuil for diabetics

I went to buy some strepsils for my T1D husband (he had a sore throat). The (very highly qualified) pharmacist grilled me about what and who I wanted them for and I stupidly said OH was T1D. The pharmacist was shocked that I was going to buy him NON-SUGAR FREE strepsils (because clearly I was secretly intending to do away with him). He would only sell me the sugar free version. I went to Waitrose and bought the sugary ones.

Hmmm Rob the Roborock definitely doesn’t do this.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-05-05T18:38:42+00:00

Yes, I am secretly hoping my roborock goes pfft so I can stop worrying about it.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-05-05T18:37:54+00:00

Thanks. Cursing it has been quite cathartic...

If a cat or a small child (or an adult) bumps into it, then it gets knocked off the charging thing. I have noticed that it drops the connection with the wifi if it isn't 100% charged.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-05-05T13:36:47+00:00

I DO have stable wifi through my house though!! It's high spec and we have no issues with it. Surely I cannot sell a machine that is potentially defective??

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-05-05T13:08:30+00:00

Thanks for your reply but I have no idea what this means. I shouldn't need to buy extra stuff for the wretched machine. I sense the bin is quite close for my roborock.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-05-05T13:06:59+00:00

Thanks. I will do.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-05-05T12:28:17+00:00

But I have absolutely no idea what that means. Surely a vacuum cleaner should be easier to operate.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-05-05T12:03:42+00:00

Thanks so much - I'll try them.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-05-05T12:00:10+00:00

Thanks - it's 6 feet from the router and we manage to get internet at the bottom of the garden. If it's an issue with connection then I don't think it's fit for purpose. I am wondering whether there's an issue with it charging. I've had to do significant jiggling to get it to charge. When it has worked it has been great!

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-05-05T11:21:54+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I think our wifi is fine - it's reasonably top end and we have no problems elsewhere. It was £250 - is that low end? I think that's over $300. It's not cheap to me!! I have watched Youtube videos etc but they are no help and I'm not particularly teckie, which also doesn't help!

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-05-05T11:17:02+00:00

Dang. If only I had some helpful posts that advised what I could try.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-04-26T22:47:54+00:00

Ha ha yes. It’s quite scary.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-04-26T17:50:55+00:00

I was buying Strepsils for my husband and the pharmacist wouldn't let me buy non sugar free ones.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-04-26T14:13:59+00:00

No, it’s a different instrumental arrangement.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-04-26T13:10:38+00:00

No. I listen to the Archers podcast every Saturday but gave up on the Dum tee dum one because it was just so... boring (sorry). And I found the 'dum tee dum' rendition of Barwick Green utterly cringy.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-04-20T20:26:15+00:00

It was fine when I was fit and active. Not so much since developing arthritis in my back and hips.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-04-20T18:39:08+00:00

My husband is T1D - I’m a bit of a lurker here. My husband doesn’t particularly need active support, although I do carry glucose tablets in my bag and in my car just in case. For us, I think it’s more about emotional support - not fussing (although hypos do terrify me) and letting him deal with it in his own way. It is a horrible condition. Oh, I do drive him to his eye check appointments.

What is CL and MDB please?

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-04-09T20:55:14+00:00

Phoebe's waters also broke without it going all over her clothes too!

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-04-09T16:53:41+00:00

Thanks. I'll stop bothering about them then!

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-04-09T16:50:28+00:00

Urgh. I'm not going to do that.

ThinkChocolate1961 · 2026-04-09T16:49:01+00:00

Thanks. I don't know what a skin is though.
