We are getting near heading off abroad for the first time in 2 years, which is coincidentally the same time as I have been diagnosed. Firstly we had a letter from the holiday company saying we needed "fit to fly" tests at extra costs (about £100) OK we thought, so be it Then we've had another...

Hi, Not sure if anyone is able to give me some advice or not to see if I am likely to have pre-diabetes? My family has a history of Type 1, and I recently had a few bloods done at the doctors, including the 3 month glucose, and everything came back normal. I do sometimes feel 'hypo' around...

I was diagnosed in July as type 2 following a blood test for an unrelated issue. My HbA1c was 69. The diabetic nurse wanted to get me started on metformin immediately. Now I’m not anti-medication or anti-modern medicine in any way, shape or form, but I do not believe that it should...

At a committee meeting the other night biscuits were being handed round. We are all 60+. At first everyone refused but then 4 out of 6 capitulated, and each of those 4 admitted to having a partner with T2 who wouldn't have hesitated and would have accepted on first offer, even though they have...
