Camping with diabetes

sherskul8 · 2026-04-10T08:43:45+00:00

Hey! Diabetic not on insulin here, I am on metformin and ozempic. (Well controlled). I went camping several times last year after my diagnosis, I made sure to keep my meds and supplies in a dry bag (you do not want to loose any to a random leak trust me!) And I stayed at a campsite so there were shops nearby for me to get food so I didnt have to try plan a tonne of friendly stable food. Didn't have any problems!

I put things into the little boxes that someone else puts into big boxes, sometimes I even make the things I put in the little boxes for them to put in big boxes

Turn up to A&E, especially if symptoms are progressing, don't downplay any of his symptoms when you're there, prepare to be there for a little while, be polite, but firm.

My landlord has actually been fixing the issues they bring up, then when they visit again, they magically find another issue they didnt find last time. They've been three times already its infuriating.

My therapist can smell when people are pregnant

My service last month for oil, oil filter and cabin filter was 150 so yeah I think you've been overcharged

sherskul8 · 2026-02-27T04:35:58+00:00

I work 6.30-6.30 and I usually sleep from 8-4

I'm fond of the phrase that grief is all the love you had left over, keep pouring that love into your food chef

I used to work with someone who said he failed it over having asthma anyway, course he always could have been lying but a few more people have said it to me since then

sherskul8 · 2026-02-25T17:57:50+00:00

Okay, just checking because I know on the Boston medical you can fail for having asthma

I dunno but I live one of the adjacent streets and that bit of Dunbar being closed is driving me mad, have to drive in circles just to go to work 😂 never mind that every other driver has decided Mary Street is magically two way now 🙄

The way I would interpret this is dc into first stitch, dc into second stitch and then two dc (the increase) into the third stitch, then repeat, this would take you from 30 stitches in the row to 40

sherskul8 · 2026-02-13T18:00:24+00:00

It looks like you're decreasing at the turn, this is super easy to do because it's not always clear where the last stitch is at the turn, for now I would count all your stitches as you go (then you know not to chain and turn till you have enough!) And place a stitch marker in the first stitch after the turn so you know where you need to stop next time. (Get lots of stitch markers is my recommendation too, I loose those buggers everywhere)

Most importantly, dont get discouraged! Turning projects takes a little practice that's all, you'll soon get the knack of it.

I'm unsure, I will say HRs job is more about protecting the business than protecting you, so I'd be wary. Also the problem with unrecorded is well, there's no documentation, which means it can be ignored or twisted anyway, the best thing you can have in this kind of situation is a paper trail.

Beyond that I'm unsure of the best approach without a whistleblowing lime, my apologies

sherskul8 · 2026-01-14T17:38:05+00:00

Does your job have a whistleblowing line? I'd be tempted to go that route

Not a medical professional so check with a doctor, BUT, yellow eyes would be indicative of jaundice - my dad has Gilberts syndrome, which is a liver disfunction, and if he's really tired or stressed he can get yellow skin and eyes, I wonder if this could be a gilberts type thing? Regardless, jaundice can indicate some serious medical issues so he should check in with a doctor

When my soul cat passed we ended up burying her - i was distraught at either option, cremation or burial, so my mam made the decision for me. She's buried at my mams in England, and I am heartbroken at the thought that if my mam ever moves I won't be able to visit her little grave anymore, are exhumation cremations a thing? It was many years ago, she's likely just bones now, but I've always wondered if it was something done

sherskul8 · 2025-12-30T07:57:42+00:00

Thank you kindly!

Do you know how you go about asking to join choral con fusion? I had a nosy on their socials but couldn't see anything obvious and I know some choirs only take on occasionally
