    Eating "forbidden" sweets

    Hello, Try M&S - they have a whole range of sugar free sweets in boxes at the tills and down the snack aisle. They taste really nice and I am sure I have seen mint ones.

    Any Type 1 Hill walkers?

    Hiya, I have been a type 1 diabetic for 23 years (my brother and mum are also type 1 and my dad type 2!) and I am very active. I do not hill walk, but I do cycle a lot as well as other types of exercises (Zumba, yoga, swimming, walking -but not up hills specifically). I find that Lucozade Lite...
