    I need to share this somewhere ...

    In June I went for routine blood tests because I have high blood pressure and am on medication for that. A follow up telephone appointment with the GP told me that I was pre-diabetic. Although he didn't give me the number for my A1C. He suggested an appointment with a diabetes nurse specialist...

    Today diabetes did not stop me

    Hi all, I thought it might be nice to have a thread for minor victories. We all know diabetes can be (is) rubbish, and so many posts cover the struggles. So this is intended to be an "I can still do it" thread. For those days where you wake up in the teens but still make it to work, for the...

    Many thanks to Louise (sorry I don't know your full username) for emailing me the low carb programme each week. I can't remember asking for it and haven't been very interactive with it. But....I did watch all of the videos and I did slowly drag my carb intake down from (I thought moderate...
