As it happens, I've long since been in the habit of carrying 'emergency food' around with me. Hadn't realised why I did that, other than that sometimes I felt weak and faint, and I knew eating would help. I'm not expecting huge amount from the quack. A simple confirmation will do me for the moment. I have long since lost my faith in the medical profession so I don't expect any actual help. Second day of the six meal thing, and it's harder than I expected. I keep forgetting to eat, or not eating enough, and seem to be permanently hungry. Ah, I'll get used to it in due course, no doubt.
