Lots of things on a macro and micro scale to deal with and managing mental health has a big impact on your physical health. I'd suggest going face-to-face / in-person if you...

    Share Your Progress!

    Were there any foods that you cut out in particular? I read that some people are not tolerable to certain carbs rather than all carbs and have been experimenting as such recently.

    South African teaching English in China

    Totally unrelated to diabetes but how do you find China? Is it good for healthcare? I have seen videos on YT and everything looks very efficient. I would love to go - I have only ever stopped through on a flight to Australia.
