Ah, welcome back co-writer! Abandoning Fruit Pastilles? The world will stop spinning on its axis!!

Sounds like a plan – I find a primaeval roar of anguish does the job.

But should we blame Banting though? He just wanted to defend his tomb. Perhaps our wrath (of Khan) should be directed at the mischievous Howard Carter

The amount of fact varies – I’ve got to say, it’s very High Fact through the first two paragraphs

To all of us with diabetes, Frederick Banting is a scientific giant to whom we owe a great deal. As we all know Banting won the 1923 Nobel Prize for Medicine, alongside JJR Macleod, for the isolation of […]

I disagree with everything you say!! Nah, only kidding – you’ve got some really good points, thanks for jotting them down. Here’s a few rejoinders:

Accuracy – fair point; I think any accuracy issues are […]

I wrote about our second favourite flash glucose monitoring device – Abbott’s Libre – and covered off all the undoubtedly good things about the device. But all is not milk and honey in the land of the Libre and so […]

Your soaraway Shoot Up’s very favourite charity – The Pendsey Trust – have released a short video detailing their work supporting diabetics in rural India.

As well as dealing in the “simple” stuff, like the […]

Yup – those are the three I’m finding really cool too!

I posted my initial thoughts about the Libre a few weeks ago here; so how has it been after two weeks using everyone’s second-favourite flash glucose monitoring system?

In summary, when it’s good it’s very, […]

Phew!

It’s all about the detail co-writer. If we, as persons of diabetes, can’t even agree on the pronunciation of a bit of kit, then how will we ever progress, eh?

I’m just typing up my second article about my experiences with the Libre. As always, I got slightly distracted by linguistics.

Before I heard it spoken aloud by my consultant, I thought the Libre was p […]

Long term readers of your soaraway Shoot Up will recall – probably against their will – the earlier episodes of our very own soap opera, Insulin Square, in which every character is diabetic (or are the […]
