I have been offered course after course, and as of yet nothing. I live In the Midlands UK and it is pointless asking for help from the Doctors as its easier to throw tablets at you than listen. If you are fat, you need to diet, if your skinny your perfect, unless you are always ill.
I keep being offered the flu jab, but if they look at my notes they will see I have not had the flu for 35 years, and I have lived in places where illnesses like the flu and viruses would put most people on their backs in bed, I was the only one still filly fit and well. I am fat, which I am not ashamed of. Yes I could do with losing 5 stone, and yes I need to look after what I eat, however food costs money and when you are not allowed to work you can only buy what you can afford. Its 1 days worth of food or a weeks worth, which do you choose? I used to go days without eating just to save money for good food, but now I am in my 50's being a Rabbit is not what I signed up to be.
I would do any course which actually helped people who have very little money to spend on food. I am lucky now as I can spend a little more money on the right food, but nothing has made a difference to my blood sugar levels, even when I do not eat it makes no difference. I can live off 8 slices of brown wholemeal bread, and cheese microwaved (melted cheese) sandwiches and my blood sugar will be the same before and after.
I think it would be better if diabetics showed other diabetics what foods are good and bad, how to count carbs, and the rest. its just a shame there isn't anything like that where I live.
