Any question answered...

^^ Did it come with a non-UK plug?

Yes! What’s that about? I had an adapter, but still.

In the sense that overheating causes sweating, and sweating causes low salt and dehydration, and dehydration increases the risk of overheating because you can't keep sweating at the same rate?

That all sounds related. There may also be some relationship between hydration and fat metabolism, but I really don't remember.

Also, it's obviously bothering you so it's possible there's an element of sensory overload, mild panic attack, feedback loop going on.

I know it varies between individuals but you might want to try some more 'long burn' fuel like multigrains. A lot of the food you've mentioned there would have my energy falling off a cliff within hours

@CasualLime ^ this.

Might not be that simple.

The body is quite good at keeping itself going, you can burn all sorts of stuff in the body to power respiration (production of energy). The brain can even use ketones.

Felling faint and unwell could be all sorts of things, cardio/vascular included. If you are worried then drop by your GP.

Do I add the address on my license or my current home address?

£1,000 fine if they're not the same

Right and if I got to update it should I just lie about how long I've lived at my house? eg not tell them it's been 3years

actually I'm just going to wait until I get back bc I need to update my name anyway

Just get DVLA to update the details, last time I did it cost about £25 I think. I don't remember DVLA asking when I moved.

Can get free meters from all the usual suppliers by claiming you a an insulin dependant diabetic. But only get 10 strips for you to test.

Before anyone says anything, the meters are freely given away as the test strips are where the money is made. So you could check blood glucose levels

Just be sure to avoid a MrSworld moment in ~10yrs time

By quoting my method to get a free meter so it is there forever.

I regularly, every 8 - 10 months get a free meters through the post from winning competitions I didn't enter. But this is the new singing and dancing meter.

I'm looking for a dimmable, low energy (i.e. doesn't get hot) small edison screw bulb for a bedside lamp.

So far I've had dimmable but not low energy or low energy but flickers when dim. Anyone got any suggestions to avoid having to read loads of reviews of "dimmable" bulbs which state "this isn't dimmable"? Cheers

Don’t have a specific one in mind but Philips scores consistently well in tests and has done for us too.

Usually heat gun, grain pad and some very fine sandpaper or another abrasive. Depends on the scratch. A quick YT search should pull up some options.

I wouldn’t bother with a blood glucose meter, they don’t even recommend them for type 2 diabetes. Your blood glucose levels as a non diabetic should be pretty stable no matter what, but there are still massive peaks and troughs after food, exercise etc. that doesn’t mean that there is a problem, the information you need about carbs vs exercise vs time of day (shit you not) is far to complex to make head of tail of it. The best solution is to eat properly and drink properly. Complex carbs, non processed things, not too many sweet treats (the worst thing for low glucose in a non diabetic, you just bounce high to low) . Keep hydrated.
If you do want to test your blood a glucose monitor is the way to go. If constantly test your blood and then uses algorithms to show you want it means through an app. Libre do one specifically for sports. I think they work out at £120ish a month for 2 14 day sensors and the app sups.
Liz has the libreview2 and as a type 1 diabetic it has changed her life, but as a non diabetic no.

Since when aren't meters recommended for 'type 2' diabetics? That is a genuine question, not being arguementative

Also it is now insulin or non insulin dependant. But that has been for the last decade (at least) but then I have heard lots of rubbish from diabetic specialists on the NHS.

Oh and gels are evil.

I friend was diagnosed type 2 a while ago (2 years max) and they told him not to test his own glucose levels. As it was counterproductive, the hba1c test that they do at the clinic was much better as it shows a longer trend and not just a snapshot.
There are two types of diabetes;
Type 1 aka early onset diabetes. It’s an autoimmune condition and basically the body kills the pancreas, they don’t know why and there is no cure. It is an ex pancreas. They do spend money on trying to make it more manageable though and trying to find a cause. It is alway insulin dependent.

Type 2 has two versions. Insulin dependent and non insulin dependent.
There are know causes for it and they include being overweight, a sedentary lifestyle and or having it in the family. Sometimes it is curable (reverseable) sometimes it’s not.

Yes gels are the devil’s work!!!

@CasualLime your fainting style spells are very unlikely to be low blood glucose, that makes you fit not faint. It’s far more likely to be low blood pressure. Not enough water, salt etc. but I would go to the Dr as it could be anything or it could be nothing.

Oh god, the reason why I initially asked the question was I was worried about it being diabetes.
Otherwise I’m quite fit and healthy but it sounds like it’s worth chatting to a doctor.

the information you need about carbs vs exercise vs time of day (shit you not) is far to complex to make head of tail of it

Wait until you hear about the how the preparation, order and combinations of foods impact their glycemic index.

Sorry I should have said low blood glucose in diabetics means fits not faints.
It’s not going to be diabetes as your glucose would be rising not falling. If it’s only started to happen it could be that weird bug that’s going round, we’ve had a couple of people off with it over the last couple of months. Both saw Drs, both told to rest, both fine now. ?¿?

Oh my god tell me about it!
Pizza;
Fast acting carbs in the base,
Fast acting carbs in the tomatoes, but not as fast.
Cheese low carb, but fatty, so fuck up the release of the other carbs. Meaning a dual rate of insulin for Liz , some instant, some on delay over the next hour or so.
Chips forget it!
Fast carbs in potatoes, but the fat masks it, so it becomes slow.

We count all the carbs and then work out the speed and luckily Liz’s pump sorts the dose, but Liz still has to decide the rate.
I’ll be honest I don’t know how she does it and still rides to work each day.

If I wanted to print some artwork onto a nice quality t shirt semi regularly (to give out to crew on shoots), what are my options? I don't want to be restricted to single designs and sizes and colours of ts etc.

What are the different types of printing onto fabric (UV/heat/other)? I'm assuming I could buy a printer or some kind of device that would enable me to print whatever with no minimum number (rather than sending artwork to some drop shipping company and getting flimsy t shirts where the print comes off in a cold wash cycle). Would I get a decent printer for a grand? Cheaper? More? Small numbers - maybe 20-30 a month.

Nice one, thanks
