Here's a reminder about the free book that Diabetes UK have produced, full of hints and tips sent in by people living with diabetes, to help you work through the minefield we have to negotiate each day 🙂

https://www.diabetes.org.uk/How_we_help/100-Things-book/

There will also be some TV advertising about this, if I find out timings I will let you know. If you have/get the book, and/or clock the advert, let us know what you think 🙂
 
Ibve got the book and there are some really good tips in there. Ive stuck little sticky tabs on some of them Ive seen poster ads on mainline trains for the book.
 
Ordered.:D
 
Really useful.

-Some are reminders of things that were told to me and I have forgotten.
-Others are 'Why did I not think of that'

I have recommended it to friends who are also impressed.
 
The first TV advert should come in the 7:45 break during Corrie tonight 🙂
 
Ordered 🙂
 
Good advert.
 
I ordered this is the day I was diagnosed. It was amazing for getting a initial grounding and was the first place I picked up that I needed to stop wandering around the house barefoot

I was utterly gobsmacked about the Pasta tip - that cooking, cooling and the reheating whole wheat pasta reduced the carb content!
 
I'm guessing that the adverts have created a lot of interest - I just tried to call up the online order form for the book and the website couldn't connect! 😱
 
I saw it. Great to see an ad like that at prime time.

Me too.
 
Success,YAY! Book ordered.
 
Well, there was a terrific response to the advert - over 20,000 books were ordered yesterday, far in excess of expectations! 🙂 Please let me have your feedback on the book if you've ordered one, so I can pass it on to Diabetes UK 🙂
 
One of the girls in my office saw the ad last night and has ordered the book. She isnt diabetic and no-one in her family is but thought it might be a useful book!

Hehe! I like it 🙂 At least she should get a better understanding of what diabetes is really all about, not just all the myths and distortions you read about in the press 🙂
 
Thats very true.
