Would be enjoying it better if I wasn't diabetic! I gave up work as I never had time to stop all day so often went from breakfast at 7.00am (got up at 4.30am to do horses) until 9.00pm when I had put the horses to bed without anything to eat or drink and I knew I could no longer do that and keep healthy with diabetes. As a biomedical scientist your son will be able to keep an eye on you and spell out the dire consequences of not keeping your glucose levels under control!!!!!Hello Barbara ,
