I have just been diagnosed as diabetic. It came as a bit of a shock I must admit. It was purely by chance that it was discovered.

The difference between non-insulin and insulin dependent diabetes is that people with insulin diabetes cannot survive without insulin treatment. Non-insulin diabetes can be treated by diet (and tablets) if ...  Read the complete review

I said I'd never write anything else for Dooyoo, but ImaryAnn has suggested that I write about something that I know about it would seem there is a health theme about Diabetes. So as she knows I have this complaint she thought I should try writing an article about it. The trouble I find with being a Diabetic is that to the outside ...  Read the complete review

“But you don’t look ill” is often the response I get from people who find out that I am diabetic. I was diagnosed last August after feeling unwell for months and months.
