ASUS VY279HGR review: a cheap 27 inch that punches above 1080p

Lift glucose juice shots review: 15g of sugar in a pocket-sized bottle
A small bottle of glucose juice designed to be drunk in one go. I use them for long runs and for a family member's hypos. Here is how they compare to just carrying sweets.

Twenty-four packs of the chewable glucose tablet that has been around for nearly a century. I keep one in every coat. Here is why the box is the right way to buy them.

Samsung U8000H 50 inch review: the sensible 4K TV for a bright room
Samsung's 2026 entry-level Crystal UHD set, living in my sunny front room for three months. It is not a home cinema TV, and it does not need to be.

Glucose shots or glucose tablets? Lift and Dextro compared for hypos, runs and long days
