Gosh, a friend of mine told me to make sure you go on a course to desmonds but boy am i glad that I didn't ask the nurse. I believe what is happening now with the Type 2 is that the medical people are relying on drugs to correct the BS level of T2's. I test when I have something different to...

It was interesting to read all the comments on this page. When I first got diagnosed March 2010 I saw in the booklet DVLA and that you must report it to them and your insurers - boy did this worry me as I drive (my only means of getting to work no other method) to work 54 miles per day there...

The fizzy drinks from the pumps in pubs is made by mixing a sugary syrup together with a flavour i.e. coke, lemonade, etc. I would personally avoid these if possible. But if you have lemonade from the bottle diet or ordinary it costs you double/treble what a bottle would cost you from the...

You need to question what you are eating. Try porridge and a low fat yogurt. Your 3.4 to 4 BS is low according to the books. But you should phone up your doctors and get an emergency appointment. I myself am newly diagnosed and am finding it hard to get to grips with the food thing and have...

I have newly been diagnosed diabetic type 2 and was told by the doctor that I don't need to test but if you don't test how on earth do you know if your blood sugar is high or low? If we as type 2's want to get our diabetis under control we have to know what puts our sugars up and what doesn't...
