If I can return it, do you know why theres a frequent need to urinate in hyperglycaemia?

Why does diabetes make me urinate more often?

ANSWER:-
Normally your body reabsorbs glucose as it passes through your kidneys, but when diabetes raises your blood sugar, your kidneys may not be able to bring it all back in. This causes the body to make more urine. Because you're urinating so much, you can get thirsty. When you drink more, you'll also urinate more.






If this was a 2 mark question you'd get 1/2 markl. Why does the body make more urine

Would members be so kind as to take a peek at their power bill and post...


Service to property charge  - cents@day
Peak Power    -  cents@kWh
Shoulder       -  cents@kWh
Off Peak        -  cents@kWh
Controlled load   -  cents@kWh
And if they have solar the FiT - cents@kWh

I'm guessing this will be different in different states but I'm trying to get a picture of what people pay/what are reasonable costs.

Here is my current power...

Electricity Charges Charges based on actual read
Your Plan Time of Use Solar (Ref:C1) NMI 44071984209

Service to Property Charge 10 days $1.430 /day $14.30

My power bills have been $0 for the past 6 months and will continue to be $0 for about the next 12 months thanks to our WA State government's $300 "EAP Boost Payment" and now another $600 per household from the Bell Resources litigation payout.

Oh, where's juliar? Haven't seen him for ages. I'm missing my daily "entertainment".

who are you with?

My last bill came in at $30 .. but only after I swapped to Energy Australia. I thing EA gave me $50 discount on that bill because I was a new customer. Even without that, it would still have been much better than when I was with Origin.

When I was with origin, my bill pre-solar were $600- $700, and then after I got the panels they dropped to $280 - $300 ... origin were ripping me off the wankers

Agreed.

We already have a system here, which is battery-backed. The house runs off PV during the day, while the inverter also charges the battery. Depnding on the time of year, the battery is usually charged by midday or earlier.

Then, the battery runs the house through most of the night.

Next time we do such a system, it will be better-sized so that:

1) There is more battery, so that the house is almost entirely self-sufficient,

2) The excess is entirely consumed (both to charge the additional battery/batteries, AND power the HWS via an appliance relay or similar.

Ideally, we'd want to consume every watt of electricity we produce, and (almost) never tap the grid for any.

On the stuff linked above - esp. this bit Quote:


There's an argument that the existing "players" within the system (Generators, Transmitters and Retailers are trying to protect a business model now being threatened by "alternatives".

Fact is, they "gold plated" the Poles and Wires over many years, and charged all tht to the consumer. Prices rose. Home solar became viable, and people adopted it. Retail electricity prices rose. More people took up solar. Prices rose (again). And they continue.

People will continue to move away from the grid, as solar and - particularly battery - tech. gets cheaper.

Those who remain wholly and solely grid-connected will continue to pay more and more, to make up the revenue shortfall createde when people go "off grid' (or vastly reduce theur reliance on it).

There will come a tipping point, where the business  model of the current operators will, shall we say, be "challenged".

Not before time, frankly.
