Have a go at reorganising the diet before ramping up the meds.

Have you been on a course yet - ask about the X-Pert Diabetes Patient course if you haven't.

No but will check it out now.

No and this really p1sses me off big time, been diagnosed for about 18 months now and apart form docs/nurses in GP's surgery and at hospital only advice i got was don't eat bread and have brown rice for breakfast, well that's about as welcome as a f* in a space suit..

When i got my Byetta the other day the lady did mention desmonds and i should be going on that, as to be honest everything i eat is on the banned list so at this rate i'll be eating the grass in the neighbours garden.

Oh let me guess that's bad as well 😡
