As Lucozade has changed its recipe is there something else that I could use to do a DIY OGTT?

[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1702559, member: 94045"] There is a current thread on the pros and cons of a diagnosis. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/pros-and-cons-of-official-diagnosis.136019/[/URL] One major thing I like about my diagnosis is I have full blood tests every 6 months. (although I only see the nurse annually). Otherwise it would be every few years on a routine MOT unless another health problem cropped up. I track my blood test results, checking I am not deteriorating in any of them. If I notice a trend towards abnormal, I research and try to find the reason so I could attempt to put it right before it became too late. I have even asked for vitamin/mineral tests to be added when I felt it necessary, rather than blindly take supplements. Bloods are so very important, for all of us, not just diabetics. It is taking responsibility for my own health, because no-one else will. [/QUOTE]
