Hi, Mineexplorer Welcome to the forum. I am also very angry too! You are doing the right thing by doing your research and posting in a forum like this.Don't get sucked into the 'NHS diabetes pathway' , drugs, drugs and more drugs. The good news for all of us is that there are people on this...

Bex, That is a great result. What did you do to achieve this? I am working on mine at the moment! BS

Hi, Kenny S Thank you for your post. When i visited the doctor recently, he asked 'why i wanted to test as i was doing well on my low carb diet'. I told him that i want to see what the intraday readings are so I can identify the foods which push the bs up or not. He said all doctors(...

Hi, Daisy Thank you for your post. All very useful information. As you mention, it is initially a shock and the potential complications are even a bigger shock. Another shock I have had is the inability of the NHS to recognise and offer any support self management of diabetes. However saying...

Hi, Guys, Thank you for your warm welcome. I will add some more posts this week when I get time. I have looked around this forum for the past month and I am impressed with the number of people that have turned their lives around against all the 'advice'. Also, equally impressive is the...
