This is Sarah and Gemma, Wendy’s daughters. Our mum died peacefully early this morning. She wrote a blog post before she died so you can read about it from her perspective.

@lowcarbGP Congratulations! Having huge ripple effect too. This year my 83 year old friend has put his diabetes into complete remission after 30 years. No more insulin injections or tablets! Thanks for what you've started. . . .
This man was a teacher for 40 years.
In 1974, Dale Irby, a gym teacher in Dallas, realized he had worn the same outfit as the previous year on Picture Day, and decided to simply go with it, after Cathy – his wife – dared him to.
So here you got 40 years with the same outfit until Dale's eventual retirement in 2013.
The town of Whittier, Alaska, is known for having nearly the entire population living in a single apartment building.
The building is called Begich Towers, a 14-story apartment complex that houses about 90% of the town's residents (total: 272). This has earned Whittier the nickname of a "town under one roof".
The building, originally constructed as an army barracks, now serves as a cozy condominium featuring a post office, general store, police station, laundromat, health clinic, mayor's office, and a heated indoor pool.
Whittier, Alaska is accessible only by air or through a single-lane tunnel that stretches over two miles through neighboring Maynard Mountain. The town's weather conditions can be harsh during winter, making the Begich Towers a convenient and practical living solution for the residents.
In addition to the Begich Towers, there is a second condo building in the town where the remaining residents live. The town's school and gym are located in a separate structure but are connected to the Begich Towers by a tunnel, allowing for easy access during the winter months.
Black history is British history.
#BlackHistoryMonth is the time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of Black communities and acknowledge the inequality they still face.
Labour will introduce a Race Equality Act to tackle structural racial inequalities.
@AllyTransforms An 83 year old friend has been on keto diet for 10 weeks, reduced insulin from 20 units twice daily to 5 units, lost a stone so far, looks and feels great. Egg and bacon for breakfast every day!
Very good primer on cholesterol, lipids, cardiovascular disease risk, and low-carb diets. If you feel confused and wish you understood the physiology and risk management/reduction better, this is well worth 26 minutes of your time.
