    If she gets paid for such courses, she will say what she needs to get paid, then it will all change and she will say something else. This ensures that the "professionals" are kept up to date.

    Type 2s - what do you think caused your diabetes?

    Actually have thought about this as there is no family history. I used to NEVER have breakfast, had fast food for lunch or skipped that also, high pressure job (driving instructor) and not getting evening meal until 10pm sometimes, and at least twice a week it would be a take away :(
