Thanks for that reference. I have meant to contact them for ages. Now I did so immediately.

As a diabetic I had been concerned about sweets and biscuits on the markets being described as suiatable for diabetics!

Re: Trading Standards!!!!!!

There are sweets in chemist/health food shops described as suitable for diabetics too and a diabetic relative of mine was told by his doctor to avoid them.

Those will be my dying thoughts as well! I wasn't 100% sure but now I know it has killed me. Diabetes is a killer and I find it difficult to be moderate and now my diabetes is starting to get out of control.

There's a lot to learn. Do you monitor your Blood Glucose?

I find that doing my own research is essential. Doctors know very little and can give bad advice. My last doctor rolled his eyes (meaning: who does this ignoranous think he is?) when I first told him I would find out all I need. He told me very little and the three dieticians that I saw were useless. A year later he admitted to a new doctor in the surgery that I knew more than he did.

The best diabetic doctor is a doctor with diabetes.

So "I just take the tablets" sounds like it's the doctors responsibility to control your disease. The responsibility should be yours. Diabetics usually live a long life if the BG is kept under control. But they can and usually do die from diabetic complications ("problems" you call them).

There's no diabetic clinic at my doctors.

Is the Stag a regular meet? What/where/when?
