    Sorry to read about your friend - it is devastating for his family and friends - even more so in that possibly and probably, the disaster could have been avoided.

    It drives home the point that this really is a serious illness but it can so easily be managed with just setting up a daily routine and by being aware of your physical condition. We have a responsibility to ourselves and loved ones that we must make an effort or run the risk that unfortunately, your friend decided to do and has paid the ultimate price.

    Hi Am24, you’re right, you have to rake it seriously. Watch your carbs, learn about glycemic indexes and which foods are best, eat enough protein, exercise regularly. All of these things go a long way towards reducing the effects if diabetes.
