Please remember that we are all 'volunteers' and sometimes work and life gets in the way of those of us who 'have had the illness for years' giving help to newbies. I pick up the threads where I think I may contribute something useful, but for someone who is diet controlled to think they may help someone who is on insulin would be presumptive. If you are insulin controlled type 2 then you have had the disease for years but it may be more appropriate for people who have type 1 to answer some of your questions. Please remember you will only get something positive out of any organisation if you have put some time into it first.
The OP link to nhs England website has clearly had an effect. The picture has been changed. (cheers loudly) I looked at the videos and the emphasis is still very much on 'healthy diet' and exercise being the answer for all T2 diabetics. If my DN idea of a healthy diet is anything to go by I would be in double figures regularly and on increasing medication. I suppose small steps are the answer, at least the picture has changed, diet advice may take a little longer.
