They're very nice

They're sort of cakey biscuits with orange in them and chocolate on top

**barrk** · Apr 12th, 2002, 10:22 AM

ever thought og making your own brand. almost the same but with copious amounts of hash in the middle. you could call them Gaffer Cakes

:groan: :get's ready for kick in the nuts smiley:

**barrk** · Apr 12th, 2002, 10:55 AM

My husband's diabetic too but he "cheats" occassionally too. Pays dearly for it but he's a grown man and it's his choice.

**Gaffer** · Apr 12th, 2002, 10:57 AM

LOL @ Gaffer Cakes

Does Tom wak up in the middle of night with hypos?

**Gaffer** · Apr 12th, 2002, 10:57 AM

What Kind of person do you take me for. I'm Hurt

**barrk** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:00 AM

Not lately...well, not since he had the heart attack. He's been very good (read: scared) since then.

**Gaffer** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:02 AM

Eiks is really calm when I have them - I would be panicking if she was diabeteic I think...

/pictures Ian deleting his "hippo" post, with a big red angry face

**Gaffer** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:02 AM

Must be a woman's strength, eh Katie...

Does he use a pump now?

the real sad thing is that I had just started typing it and saw your reply underneath

**barrk** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:05 AM

His stupid insurance only pays for syringes etc. But they'll come round eventually I'm hoping.

I think it's true about a women's strength though. When Tom had his heart attack. I handled it all very calmly until it was all over and then I broke down and cried after I left the hospital. Weird! The same when Erin broke her arm. Tom was beside himself and I just did what needed to be done.

**Gaffer** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:06 AM

GUFFAW!!! heheh,

/sings

"I knooowwww him sooooo welllll"...

Ouch, and Insulin (US$50?) and blood test strips (US$50) ain't cheap....I've recently hasd to pay for insulin and strips, cos I go to a private GP now, and all prescriptions cost...

You're right about remaining calm. Eiks always stays calm, even when I got caught at customs with hash last fortnight....

**Pix** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:09 AM

Bye Ian, have fun

**Gaffer** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:10 AM

yeah, see you Tuesday mate

**barrk** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:14 AM

Good night Ian!!!!!!!!

Gaffer, Tom's insurance pays all but $9 of his strips and insulin etc. If we got the pump they wouldn't pay for any of it.

**Gaffer** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:16 AM

It's prbably not worth the pump anyway - I spoke to a colleague (a VERY keen diabetic) and she tried it. Apparently it's really impractical, you can't have the pipe out for more than 30 mins, and it VERY painful to insert the pipe...

...better control, but at what price....

**barrk** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:31 AM

It's really painful for me to watch Tom in pain. It's just not fair why some people have to go through that and other rat bastards skate through life without a hitch.

**Gaffer** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:33 AM

I know, but if he's anything like me, it'd hurt him more to know you were hurt, than the pain itself...

Personally, I hate my mood changes when I'm hypo....I can really snap at people, and it's not attractive..

**Wally Pipp** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:36 AM

/snaps ...

Chin up katie, I'm borderline psychotic but don't tell anyone.

**Gaffer** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:37 AM

Hare-raising stuff, you scwewy wabbit

**Wally Pipp** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:41 AM

No seriously (

), I'm too much dependant on mood swings and especially under tremendous amounts of stress I can get very errm ... vitriolic and physical ...

Are you typing this from Parkhurst?

**Gaffer** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:46 AM

Wally: You talkin' to me? YOU TALK... ahem.. It's pretty bad having an illness where you can lose your temper without any control - I get it about 6 times a - ****ING BASTARD **** ****** - sorry 7 -times a week...

Dunc - Naw, got away scot free (Italian Police) - personal use

**barrk** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:46 AM

Before Tom found out he was diabetic, he woke up one morning and our dog had peed on the carpet in the dining room. He was so incredibly pissed off and out of control, he ripped up the carpet and took it out to the trash before I had even gotten out of bed. He found out later that day when he started to lapse into a coma that it wasn't the dog that upset him, his brain was frying in sugar!

The upside was I got a new wood floor!

**Gaffer** · Apr 12th, 2002, 11:47 AM

NJo, seriously Wally, I do get that with Diabetes. It's pretty bad (but I never get physical)...

heh! I used to get into a lot of trouble up until my mid 20s, usually with the law or big blokes, and almost always due to my temper-management inabilities whilst suffering hypoglycaiemia...
