Thank you for the advance warning. I'm still on a steap learning curve with diabetes & confess some of it is confusing

Congratulations. Well done you.

I didn't have any raised levels

Having seen 2 local news programs recently with diabetes as a topic, I have been left raging. Firstly was an amputee learning to walk on a prosthetic lower leg & the man in question admitted to ignoring his diabetes, not listening to his doctor or taking his medication. Why would you do that? I...

Good luck with your test results. Hope it's good news x

Thank you.

Is it wrong to be feeling a little smug with myself? I was diagnosed in March of this year, due to pancreatitus & pancreatic cyst. My HBA1C at the time was 119. I was told it would take about 12 months to get it down to a normal level of between 47-53. I've just had the results from my 2nd 3...

I'm type 2

Thank you very much for this information. I've managed to shed 9kg in weight since mid March, I've reduced my starchy carbs d cut out refined sugar. I'm still getting frustrated with food labels. It seems that if a food is low in sugar it's high in fat or vise versa. I'm still not sure of a lot...

Thank you

I'm new to this. I was diagnosed in March. My GP & diabetes nurse at my local surgery have been brilliant. I've been given loads of support & a heap of literature to read. I think I've gone into information overload trying to understand it all. Did/does anyone else feel like this.
