He’s been my guardian angel and like a big brother, very supportive, helpful, advisor, understanding, and an excellent moderator.How did it change your life?My life has absolutely changed since my diagnosis. I adopted low carb high fat diet (LCHF), cook my own food, no more junk food or take aways and exercise more often. I’m much more aware of the nuances of nutrition labels and how to adjust recipes. I’m much more careful in what foods I put on my table!Short Term GoalsTo maintain excellent blood glucose levels and control.Long Term GoalsLiving with Diabetes doesn’t have to be a death sentence.
