A good healthy diet and regular exercise can prevent the onset of this terrible disease. A careful diet, sugar control, hygienic foot checking, neuropathy, bad circulation, kidney disease, impaired liver function and most importantly diabetic eyes are the most common factors affecting a diabetic patient.
Please check your lifestyles and enjoy healthy living.
I used to work in the 'medical profession' in England and believe me, diabetes is definitely on the increase. As D says keep a check on your lifestyle, just as a precaution. Better to be safe than sorry.
Where were you when I needed that advice all those years ago. Oh, Just remembered, you were a wee lass then.
As to the KEO drinkers, enjoy your KEO's but be aware of its sugar content. Have you got a beer belly?
I used to have 20 kilo one, but six months in the UK without KEO (OK, I did drink a fair bit of "Wife Beater") made it disappear and it has not returned since I started my regular KEO diet when I came back 5 years ago!
