I do not have diabetes
We are a group consisting of 4 students from Tampines Junior College in Singapore and are conducting a research for our ‘A’ level Project Work coursework which is based on diabetes.
We have made a survey to find out more about how we can improve the process of administering insulin.
We would be extremely grateful if you could help us in our research by partaking in the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/130idUjic_MqGezSq1nKvBWAC1Zl-8NlT19ZrA1_J9AE/viewform

Thank you :)

I'm 70 and was diagnosed just before Christmas. As I am managing by diet only I have been told testing is irrelevant as no medication is involved. Is this correct?

Hi thanks for the reply. I can't wait to discuss how I feel. It's been quite a shock. I'm finding it hard at work at the moment. I work as a chef and finding it difficult with the amount of work that needs done but before I could do it no problem. It's annoying :(

That is the job I have always thought would be difficult for a diabetic. You have to taste the food and even a little can raise Blood Glucose levels.
