Thank you for the link, I get weird feeling when they speak of the "depths of diabetes".
I was diagnosed type II in 1997 and took it in my stride because my father, an uncle and a cousin were also type II and only my uncle was overweight. It took several things to make me realise things were wrong, very wrong - the appalling side effects of Metformin, the side effects of Atorvastatin and the almost fatal side effects of Rosiglitazone (weight increased to 27st without eating more or exercising less, GP treated my anxiety about weight gain with Citilapram), nearly forgot the liver function deterioration as the result of taking Rosiglitazone.
Hopefully, that was my personal "depths of diabetes" and all down to the prescribed drugs used to treat my "ailments".
I reckon the videos will distill a lot of different information from different sources, so quite useful, as we are all different we can try any of the suggestions and see how we get on. Personally, I'm in week 7 of a VLCD, weight loss has stalled but BG is brilliant.
All the best.
