I actually got caught out a few years ago and learnt the hard way that you can fast for too long.

It's because your blood sugar spikes isnt it? The last time I went to the doctor (many years...) they suggested a blood test cause I hadn't done one in over a decade and reminded me multiple times not to fast too long or you'll get false positives for high blood sugar. Jokes on them, I still haven't done it. Possibly I should at some point but its like texting someone back after you forgot to reply. It's been another few years since my last visit so its kinda embarrassingly too long to follow up.

Oh and thanks to TRK’s rec I watched “Heads of State” and can confirm that it’s a very jolly romp.

Wait, I thought I watched it because of your recommendation! Damn, who was that who suggested it originally then??

Dunno but we shall hunt them down and destroy th.........ok ok we won't destroy them then. But no it wasn't me.

Also. Mate we all should get bloods done every year. A workmate put me onto that about 12 years ago. He books in for every Melbourne cup day ( so he remembers )

That way they can see if any levels are changing which could indicate a problem. The big one is that if certain things or thing changes it might be due to cancer. Then they can look into things early.

We take our health for granted, especially when young and healthy. It sometimes doesn't take much for things to go pearshaped.

Get yah bloods done mate.
