[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1510357, member: 150927"] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=4]I love that [USER=133535]@Simon84[/USER] - a champagne diabetic! Wo ho! I want to be one of those (on a sprite budget). As long as it's very dry champagne/sparkling - right? Yes, I have wondered how rich and famous T2 diabetics have been doing with treatment choice and support and so on more than once (I can't help the glossy women's mag side of me), as in Tom Hanks and Halle Berry (although I do understand there is some confusion and so on around Halle Berry's original diagnosis). I mean - if I was rich and famous, and had easy access to other rich/famous/top of the game people - how would I be living with T2D?
