Hello there I have just been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 in last two weeks, I don't know much about diabetes until my nurse told me about DESMOND which is run by the NHS I went with my wife for the day at our local fire station and it's well worth going to I never knew what goes into the food we eat each day, they don't try and put you off the food but it's mainly about the sugars and carbohydrates it's well worth asking your doctor or nurse to refer you.
