I have a friend who is diabetic and I have a few concerns hope you don't mind me joining your site
I do not profess to understand diabetes but my friend does the following which i am sure cant be good for him...
1. He eats many high sugar products in one day i have seen him eat a whole large vanilla fudge bar, a packed of iced gems, drink normal pepsi, and also eat baked beans on toast for at least three lunches a week. And yet when it comes to meal times he does not eat a proper meal even when cooked for him he will eat say half a sausage and about 6 chips but will then have an ice lolly. He takes sugar in his tea. He certainly does not stick to regular meals
HE has tables for his problem they begin with g something like glucosphate i think and when i asked him for some paracetamol the other day in the same cupboard there must have been 30 unopened boxes of these tablets dating back over a year. Yet he seems to not have any problems. Can you get diabetes and then not have it any more.
He has been diagnosed by a doctors as he gets all the usual things free cause of the condition, he also get dla for this?
I just want to have a better understanding of this condition and see if I can help him I would hate anything to happen to him he is my husbands best friend.
thank you x
