    Hi, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes on 20th May after several visits to the quack for an "MOT" and blood tests. My blood sugar levels came in at a whopping 19 after the glucose tolerance test and I must admit that I was concerned - particularly after my family and friends (my close friend...
