Indeed. It's crazy the amount of slobby parents who're turning their kids in to slobs. Letting them lie in all morning and wear jammies around the house. 

Absolute minkers, producing the next-gen minkers. 

Don’t get me started on them Min!

I'm 50, and I can't remember ever having to get out of my bed for a pish.

When I became diabetic, I was pishing roughly every 20 to 45 minutes overnight. Took me about a week of this to figure out what might be causing it, managed to do a home blood glucose test that belonged to my uncle. 28 it was...
I'm very well controlled now but you do still get occasional high blood sugar in spite of the insulin. Tends now to be early evening....as before, you pish gallons and annoyingly frequently. Just the body trying to reduce your blood sugar the only way it can.

What caused you to become diabetic? Is it permanent or can it ever be reversed?

Always been interested in conditions like Diabetes Inspidus and how many people must have  died of it before the boffins clicked on what it was then created Argipressin. The world needs nerds

Type 2 diabetes is usually linked to obesity and in many cases can be reversed if the sufferer loses enough weight. sometimes just losing a couple of stone can do it. Whilst they have it, its generally treated either by diet alone or diet plus tablets.

I'm type 1.  Unusual to develop it as late as i did at age 50. It's always treated by insulin. I'm on 4 injections a day.... 3 of them dosage titrated against what blood sugar reading is and how much carbs I'm having in next meal and 1 dose at 10pm of a long acting insulin dosage stays constant for it only adjusted if necessary by diabetic clinic. The really unstable diabetics who tend to be teenagers or early 20s are now routinely getting insulin pumps implanted under skin which release a constant dose hourly. Also pancreas transplants are becoming more popular, until recently they weren't very successful the early ones had a lot of rejection problems but they do seem to have solved this.

You learn something everyday. I always thought type 1 was something you were born with.

There's actually a 3rd type which they've known about for roughly 40 years...called type 3c. It's a much rarer diagnosis and is linked to pancreatic conditions such as pancreatitis (usually diagnosed in alcoholics), cystic fibrosis, pancreatic cancer and for some reason, haemochromatosis...an excessively high blood iron content. Treatment is usually metformin but may need insulin if unable to stabilise on the tablets

Fuckin hell, there’s almost enough medical information in this thread to qualify as a male nurse. It’s just lacking the sexual deviancy module that seems to be required now.

Hmm I see you more like Christopher Lloyds character in "The Dream Team" personally (i.e. a nut job who thinks he is a doctor for those of you who haven't seen the film!).

Or just like Christopher Lloyd in One flew over the cuckoo's nest.

You ken your stuff TC.👍

Reckon I could easy be a GP. Fucks wrong with you? 

Right cut down on the booze and fags and here’s some antibiotics as standard procedure.
 

Then I’ll refer you to a specialist for whatever is actually wrong with you.

Open heart surgery is probably beyond my capabilities though.
