    No, it’s in connection with my Parkinson’s Barry.

    Sorry to hear that Roy. I trust it doesn't affect you too much.

    I'm Type II diabetic, and was originally prescribed Gliclazide which can cause hypoglycemic episodes, so had to inform the DVLA of my condition. Fortunately I no longer take any medication now, and am regarded as being in remission.

    Take care

    Thanks Barry, I manage the condition quite well with the various meds I take. Took a little tweaking when I was first diagnosed three years ago but all good at the moment.

    My other half is type 2 and takes metformin for it. Did you manage to control yours via your diet?

    Yes I did and my doctor is very pleased with the results. Each year I have an "MOT" and, touch wood, every thing is fine and I get a clean bill of health.

    As regards diet, I try to avoid sugar and saturated fats. I eat plenty of carbohydrates such as pasta, rice, bread and potatos, and I eat plenty of fresh vegetables and greens. I rarely fry anything; preferring to grill, steam,bake or poach. I'm also eating a lot more fish than I used to.

    Ironically, since being informed of my condition, I am eating much better now, trying different foods and now enjoy eating a lot more than I used to! So some good has come out of it.

    Well done Barry. My other half is incredibly careful with her diet but doesn't seem to be able to get off the meds.

    First 'Grand Diver' for a while. It popped up on US Amazon at a decent price. Nice colour dial I thought.

    Cheapy alert! No idea why they thought it needed two second hands?

    Definitely not an addition to my Casio collection because I don't have one... Don't know about fishing bit, just liked the look of the watch.
