defender05 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 If you are walking from Earls Court to The Olympia there is a Tesco's which should be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuntydwarf Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I think it's car park 3 - the toilet it at the bottom of the stairs, at the entrance from olympia, and actually they're pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naurarwen_fangorn Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Its the multistory that is pretty much opposite the train station. Haven't used the loos in there personally but I know where you coming from as I'm a type one diabetic. I tend to do my insulin before I leave my hotel and I have no qualms doing blood tests in front of people lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hapusfymyd Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Glad you asked this question, as my sister is coming with me and she has kidney problems so needs to use the toilet more often etc - on that note, if we are queuing for photos/autographs and she needs to use the toilet, will people usually be friendly and let her rejoin the queue with me when she gets back!? Or how long is the average wait time?! Ta! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkey Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Paranoia is not good for testing blood sugars at all, they should only really be tested at meal times. I managed to recently get my control to such a perfect level that this EMS proved that because I tested my blood sugar at lunch and I was 5.3. Since getting my background injections right I no longer worry about my levels. I can imagine though in a cat suit it's gonna be difficult!

naurarwen_fangorn Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Oh the catsuit was definitely a problem lol. Bloody tests we're next to impossible, though was fairly tempted at one point to just do one through the suit. Managed to keep my levels pretty good though and made sure I kept up with my fluids.
