Could anyone tell me where i could get some information on
resent studies of diabetes. Thank you.

Speaking just for myself, I deeply resent the twist of fate
that had me "acquire" diabetes .... :-))

Just imagine if it happened immediately after you'd sunk a
big dollop of cash into learning to fly helicopters.

We're talking the Real Deal here ???? (Not the models) ...
t'would be a real bummer, I guess ... but not nearly as
awkward as it would be to remain undiagnosed until you fell
out of the sky .... thats a wee bit final that is ...

By the way, do you know why they have that whacking great
fan on the top of a helicopter ??? (See below *)

By the way #2 - I was actually taking the michael out of the
previous poster who spelled "recent" as "resent" .... seemed
like nobody got the point ... I think I'm going to sit down
the garden path and eat worms ....:-((

Sorry. I got it, and was about to post a post along the same
lines as yours when I found that you'd already beaten me to
it. :-( Life's like that sometimes.

But I harbour some resentment at the abuse I suffered at my
diagnosis almost 39 years ago.

Ah right. I'd always wondered why the fan was on top of the
helicopter, rather than underneath. Now it's obvious.

I'll feel better about it when I can say the same .... my
diagnosis was 16 years ago .... if I can live another 20 odd
years, I shall have achieved a reasonably innings ...

No no no .... you can't put it underneath ..... it's rough
on the deck handlers for navy helicopters ...

It's hard to fall out of the sky as an undiagnosed diabetic.
No instant "clocking off" with high BG's, it's the lows that
cause that particular problem.

Groan indeed. It's usually the thing that powers the fan
that stops, not the fan itself. Well not unless you're Mike
Smith that is (now that IS a groan:-)

Priscilla, I didn't see this response of yours ..... but
from a purely tongue in cheek point of view, my "concern"
regarding the flight deck crew had more to do with the way
that they rush forward the moment the wheels are firmly on
the deck and strap the whirly-beastie down so it doesn't go
over the side into the oggin when the ship rolls to one side
or the other .... they do this while the rotor is still
spinning, hence my comment ...

Oh I believe a ship's deck might, but if I were in that whirly-
beastie coming down upside-down, I think I'd be inclined to
say "Stuff the deck, I have bigger concerns" ....

I would imagine that sort of state would make it much easier

Thing is, when I was still an appy, a couple of us cooked

Yes, I understand that, and I'm also under the impression
that there will be a certain amount of "auto rotation" that
might be enough to get to safety .... but we still had fun
with it, extracting the michael from the pilots we had
onboard at the time .... when you're only 19 or so, inane

I didn't experience that I just felt "off" or "not 100%"
which I put down to getting on a bit. I had massive urges to
lay down and go to sleep, and one or two occasions where it
was almost forced on me, but that was about "it". Course,
I'm T1 and things developed very quickly, but I suppose a T2
would have one or two odd feelings as his/her sugar began
climbing to the heavens.

I would imagine that

Oh aye, you need to be on the ball, but it's like anything
else, when you can do it, you do things without consciously
knowing you've done them (like driving a car for an hour and
suddenly realising you're where you want to be without
remembering anything of the journey).

Mike Smith was a radio DJ who decided to learn how to fly
heli's (probably because another DJ pal of his had done the
same thing). After he got his ticket, he took his girlfriend
for a "spin", but ended up icing his carbs on descent and
the heli began dropping faster than his intended speed. In
time honoured fashion, instead of pulling carb heat, and
reducing pitch, to regain a few engine/rotor rpm, he pulled
MORE pitch in an effort to stop the drop, but that resulted
in a massive decay in rotor speed and an even "massiver"
increase in the drop speed. Basically he stopped the fan.

The heli hit the deck and both him and his girlfriend were
pretty badly smacked up, but thankfully, not killed.
(Lucky lucky)

He took this as a REAL lesson and eventually went on to
become an instructor, and it's my guess his favourite "demo"
manoeuvre is "recover from a low rotor speed situation" and
I bet he makes his students aware of just how easily it is
to get into that situation in the first place.
