And what's more these days life is getting easier all the time.

If you get stuck on insulin (or are a type 1) ask about Carb Counting/DAFNE. It's enabled me to halve my insulin intake and so reduce the risk of putting on loads of weight whilst eating anything I fancy.

What's more I've found the fact I could eat sweet stuff/bread/cakes etc if I want them has taken the 'forbidden factor' away and I don't especially crave them anyway.
