Message: <blockquote data-quote="ColinBhoy" data-source="post: 68627" data-attributes="member: 16052">Hello all,Guess I should have introduced myself long before now, but was only prompted by reading the introduction from Allybee <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  I have been lurking around in here for a few months now, picking up tips and recipes!I look forward to getting some good information from this forum, considering I ain't got much to work with out here.  I was only diagnosed a few months ago when in the UK on holiday, but it certainly explained a lot of what has been happening to me over the last few years.  I have gone from living in Indonesia, then Russia and I am now in Angola, so don't get much time at home to take care of this disease properly.Biggest issue I have right now is with the amount of conflicting advice out there.  I tried to follow some advice in here suggesting that removal of carbohydrates from the diet would be good, and it did make me feel good ...eventually.  But then when I received some information from my GP back in the UK (like a starter pack for newly diagnosed diabetics), it seemed to contradict that advice!  Who is right and who is wrong?  Or are there many different approaches to dealing with this disease?I am originally from Johnstone and a die-hard Tim, so I guess I can look forward to some banter as well <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Take care everyone ...its a sugar coated jungle out there!Colin.</blockquote>
