I have sugar problem
I have been dealing with it for thirty years. When I first suspected I might be diabetic ( due to a near psychotic outburst of completely abnormal behavior) I went to the local pharmacy and got some urine diagnostic strips for sugar. Cheap and easy to use. Getting a positive result the next stop was a walk-in medical clinic. The medic was bemused when I told him why I was there but he did a quick blood test and came back out concerned as it indicated in the six hundred range. Next stop my GP who sent me for a glucose tolerance test at the local lab. “Yep, you are a full on diabetic.” In the thirty years I have done almost everything… oral meds, insulin, diet, etc. These days I have my blood formally checked at least quarterly at my provincial hospital, and the doc has been okay with my A1C results , which is the three month average that shows in your blood sample. Diet wise I am not the best example. I fight a continual battle against my love of high carbohydrate foods. One problem is that almost every Thai cook puts sugar in whatever they cook. I cook as much of my own as my wife lets me get away with. A bit of a struggle as like many she is a take out fan. I do try to have my biggest carb load at breakfast in the form of minimally processed oatmeal, etc. The other day my darling brought home pizza which I helplessly ate too much of. That for some reason is synergistically bad for blood sugar. Threw my readings off for two days. My best advice on what to eat is use the “ plate method”. One half of your 8” diameter plate covered in non-starchy vegetables, 1/4 lean protein, and 1/4 healthy carbs, for example brown rice or air fried potatoes, etc. I sometimes have a slice of my homemade multi grains bread which I make using the minimum of sugar for feeding the yeast and a minuscule amount of salt ( high BP). I eat a fair amount of fruit; apples and pears are good in the sugar department. Popcorn is a good snack so long as it is not drenched in butter… good to limit your fat consumption as well, since if you ARE diabetic you are also at higher risk of all cardiac trouble. I have had four known heart attacks and three strokes. I would for sure, from your description, get that checked by a doctor. In spite of my less than perfect adherence I will make it to 71 in a couple of weeks and hope to keep irritating my wife for another ten or fifteen years.😃 -

He surely asked how working class do it? And I'm not sure why you raise your voice and seem annoyed by my answer. Almost shouting, behave, -

UK: Jamaican Drug Offender Avoids Deportation After ECHR Appeal
UK was still a signatory to the Treaty. Leaving EU did not abrogate the UK obligations under the treaty. Nonsense. A barrister and/or solicitor is expected to represent the best interests of their client. In government policy, a government must decide based upon the impact the law will have on national interest and the potential for harm to UK nationals. Sometimes a bad outcome is accepted if it prevents a precedent being set that could harm UK national interest of government policy. Sometimes the decision is made for political reasons to placate important voter blocks. In this case, the government is obliged to respect the ruling because of its being a treaty participant. Conservative government could have given notice of leaving the treaty, but did not.
