@lowcarbGP@marksandspencer It’s not just an issue for diabetics. I have a rarer illness called reactive hypoglycaemia and carbs are a major trigger. I have to make nearly everything from scratch.
@TheBookshopMan I hear you. I hate starting a book and not finishing it. However I have decided my time is too important to spend forcing myself to read something I am not enjoying.
A lovely lunchtime catch up with Dr Guna @KaplanSingapore. We are currently recruiting to Cohort 4 of our BSc Nursing Science Programme in Singapore.

@DocNurseCherry @ashleyruba_phd It’s not always an easy transition as the work environments are very different. It’s a brilliant opportunity to inspire the next generation of nurses. Enjoy!
@DocNurseCherry @ashleyruba_phd I am a nurse academic and I love it. It can be a really hard space to be, but not always. Bring boundaries with you and use them. Academia is very good at tipping the work life balance without you noticing. Take what you want and need from it and give what you can. Enjoy the ride
@CharleyBaker1 I think it’s lovely. He can dip in and out when he wants to. It gives him space to explore his personal grief. That notion of still being ‘friends’ I think is particularly powerful. X
@emmafc74 @DrTamWatermeyer People are individuals so I don’t think you can say this is for people with dementia and LD. This illustration will work for some people. Forget the labels.
@Laconic_doc 2/2 and it was the unique methodology that generated the interesting results. It would be fascinating to repeat the study with a different community.
@Laconic_doc 1/2 Cultural influences are massive - I run teach healthcare ethics and law internationally and run a BSc Nursing in Singapore. I think the taxonomy and Lie Arm work for communication generally, but I am in the only person who has sone an ethnography in this subject area.
