[QUOTE="Jillytee, post: 1394473, member: 342800"] Hi Will, I was diagnosed with T2 in Sept '16 and have found that virtually all my friends and family have no idea what it entails especially diet wise. I still get offered cakes, biscuits, sweets etc. or they think it's only sugar I 'can't have' . One friend even proudly offered to make me a sandwich with gluten free bread! To be fair I never gave diabetes any thought at all until I was diagnosed, it's not something one thinks about until you're affected by it. I've received very little support or advice from my surgery and was told that my doctor has no interest in diabetic patients and leaves it all to the practice nurses ........ So, I've found living with T2 to be quite lonely so far, apart from this wonderful forum which has kept kept me going with encouragement and advice. Eating out can be tricky but really it depends where you choose to eat. [/QUOTE]
