THERE is no doubt that many of your readers will have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately we have found that many people with diabetes feel they do not have enough information.
With this in mind, the InDependent Diabetes Trust (IDDT) offers free booklets including, Understanding Your Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes – Management and Medication. They provide information in non-medical language to help people.
One of the important aspects of the treatment of diabetes is eating the appropriate diet. We know that from time to time, it can be difficult to curb the desire for sweet things but these foods raise blood sugar levels, something that needs to be avoided for people with diabetes.
So we also have a free booklet Diabetes – Everyday Eating which contains 28 days of menus of everyday, affordable meals, and much more.
All our booklets are free and we are happy to send copies to your readers.
