Hiya
I'm a type II that is, at the moment, diet controlled. A lot of the women in my family had diabetes (both tablet and insulin dependent). I seem to be OK with the diet only but I am due another HBA1C test next week to see how things are progressing.
I do find it hard to manage my diabetes sometimes because I've always had a sweet tooth so what comes naturally to some people is hard for me as I crave such things as cake and biscuits. I did join a slimming group to help me combat the sweet cravings by using their products with sweetner.
I hope other people come along for you to have a chat and intorduce themselves. They are a friendly bunch so jump in on the posts and chat with others
