People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
Reading alot of the postings on here, I am quite staggered about the amount of diabetics that aren't actually told the in's and out's of carb counting...
When I was diagnosed type1 26 years ago, I was initiated well and truly in to the practice of 'exchanges'-(yes the old way-now superseded by the carb counting).
I would just like to enquire how newly diagnosed (last 10 years) are introduced to carb counting-is it all being done on a dafne course-which so many people don't appear to be able to get on easily?
This site is wonderful, and gives so much help, but I still get amazed that it appears that NOT all diabetics whether type 1 or type 2 are given carb counting books and clear instructions as to how to really control and help their diabetes.
Just an enquiry really, would love to know how newly diganosed diabetics are managed nowadays....
