Just ordered the booklet. Hope it is as informative as it sounds

Hope you find it useful Rob 🙂 Far better to get tips from people who are actually living with diabetes than what some dusty textbook says should happen! 🙂
 
I got my copy a few weeks ago and it's so readable! And the tips and facts are well worth a read.
 
I spotted the advert on tv yesterday and I've ordered mine really excited for its arrival being new to all of this I could do with some tips and tricks!
 
And leave it somewhere - ideal as a 'coffee table book - you can pick it up, open it at random - and find another short truth about diabetes that hardly anyone in the NHS seems to know - after all if they ruddy well know all the things in there - why didn't they tell US? and why do WE have to instead !!

I read my copy and then left it at my Diabetes clinic, hoping that someone wouldn't pocket it.
 
Has anyone tried the tip about putting pasta in the fridge to slow down its digestion? Does it work?

Very useful little book.🙂
 
Welcome to the forum Rob.
Loads of support and information available here.

I hope that you find the book useful.
I look forward to hearing what you think.
 
I think I might order one for each of the nurses with an interest in Diabetes at my Practice.
My GP could do with one but I am not sure that he would look at it.
 
Interestingly, on the day the advert for this was put out the number of users of the forum shot up by 80% 😱 🙂
 
Dr. Hilary Jones talked about the ad on GMB. Talked about it very positively.
 
I'm still waiting for mine to arrive.
 
I've only skimmed through it so far but it looks pretty good.
 
Mine has arrived! Had a flick through last night and it has some helpful little tips especially for people like me who are newly diagnosed! 🙂 They should give something like this out when you are diagnosed!
