What’s he done now?

I played cricket against one of his brothers years ago - he was an arrogant prick as well

He was a co commentator on the IPL game today. As painful as ever.

Done the sugar and carbs but not enough apparently and insulin injections likely. Depends on the next Hba1C from today. That will be a real life and game changer

Have you not tried the shock diet "There is evidence that eating a low-calorie diet (800 to 1,200 calories a day) on a short-term basis (around 12 weeks) can help with symptoms of type 2 diabetes. And some people have found that their symptoms go into remission." I know of people it has worked for.

Our granddaughter is Type 1

Our granddaughter is Type 1

Sorry to hear that!

Sorry to hear that!

Thanks. She was diagnosed a couple of months before her 7th birthday three years ago. It's tough for her but she 's a star.

Young kids, with serious illnesses, seem to adapt and cope far better than adults

Cures the hiccups though!

One way or another!

I've got a 36 hole mind but only a 5 hole back. Sadly, without a buggy I'm not making it round 18 holes any more.

A supplier, recently taken over, has badly let us down on an order, hidden away from giving bad news. An email came through at 6pm tonight advising of a further delay, one they would have known about earlier on in the week. The person sending the email is going on holiday for a week from today and this would have been their last email before shutting off their computer ??.

That is shocking. When I worked in Sales I always believed that the truth, even if bad news, was the only option and said bad news had to be given as early as possible. When you do that you can actually build relationships - even when letting a customer down.

I’ve got a single figure swing but a 54 handicap short game ?

I totally agree. Honesty is disarming and people tend to accept bad news much better when you are straight with them. The other way is good way to lose a customer quickly.

People that have their phone on Speaker/hands free when there’s no need.

"Excuse me, you seem to have forgotten your headphones" is my standard line for this.

My brother

 

[Bazz]

Just him speaking is enough to get irritated

He blocked me on twitter and I didnt even mention him, so he definitely searches his own name. Proper knob.

My older brother was diagnosed Type 1 at the age of 12 when I was 9. A couple of years ago he got an award for 50 years of self-administered daily insulin injections.
I grew up with pretty much the same diet. We learned together the calorie and nutrition values of all foods. My brother gained great self-discipline skills. His life depended on those skills.
He has been fairly fit and healthy all his life. Well into his 60s now and he is very fit for his age and is in a running club.
Type 1 diabetes need not necessarily be viewed as a life-restricting curse.
