Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karamat" data-source="post: 2702297" data-attributes="member: 588896">My name is Karamat Iqbal. Male. I have been in the UK since 1970, age12. I was born in Azad Kashmir from where around two third of Pakistani population come. I first heard about diabetes in 1983 while doing a first aid course. So I became quite conscious of my food needs. Ten years ago, after a serious hospital episode I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Recently I was threatened with insulin which I managed to keep at bay for now through a low carbohydrate diet. I hope to avoid insulin for a long time if not forever. I have a dog, Lottie, which helps me to get out every day. Upon coming to England I fell in love with books and music. Of the former I read quite a bit and have written a few books. As for music I started with Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon, Supertramp Crime of the Century and others. The biggest music in my life has been Bruce Springsteen, starting with Born to Run in the mid 1970s. We have seen him and the E Street Band about a dozen times. - List your five favourite TV programmes.HomocideCountry FileThe One ShowThirtysomething ER- List your five favourite films.Grapes of WrathCold Mountain Perfect StormLast of the MohicansSerpico I work in education and equalities.I am disciplined and focused.
