Whelks,winkles... All crustaceous seafood except prawns. Can't do crab.lobster or scallops.
Don't like the way they are killed and cooked. Save our Scallops. SOS !!!
Also HATE evaporated milk.
I was diagnosed Type 2 a fortnight ago and armed with my meter readings and a smattering of knowledge about diet, feet, I was wondering what I should ask if anything?

I am going to ask for a printed readout of my blood results. And I shall ask about a prescription for my Glucomen LX Plus. (Don't think I will qualify for that though)

What else do I ask please?
 
Hi, I would mention eye screening ( for retinopathy ), results of any test you may have had done so far, there is an educational course, DESMOND believe. Are you on any medication at present ? You can also request a medical exemption certificate for free prescriptions. Good luck !
 
If you click on the 15 Healthcare Essentials Checklist in the following link it will tell you what you should expect, obviously some won't be relevant depending on your circumstances:
