Our neighbour at the cottage we have, has diabetes, he is into his 90’s and has always been quite determined to manage it with diet, exercise and medication. We were told that his dr had said to him he can have what ever he likes as it wouldn’t make lot of difference due to his age. I suppose...

The itinerary my hubs has takes in some rural areas and not necessarily cities Your information is what I expected. I thought if we were only going to cities it wouldn’t be as bad but Hubs is worried that we’ll get encouraged to go and then find we’ve been misled as we had been for Thailand...

What part of the country are you in? My recent HbA1c test hasn’t descended significantly. I eat low carb too, have done since diagnosis 5 years ago. At first the meds brought it down but it went up… It depends obviously what happens within 3 months and the rises I think are because we’ve gone on...

I keep getting told by my GP and again today, that T2 don’t need to test, she said something about an average BG and HbA1C!!! Lose the will…….. My hubs is very happy for me to buy Libre sensors so I can monitor without keeping pricking and I’m grateful for that, but I’ve no help in the Surgery...
