Thanks for that Chookie and your sweet words Judy and Denise. I must admit I get tempted every now and then but then I remember BIL who only has one toe left out of ten, can't drive anymore etc, etc. he is a wonderful incentive for me.
I've been to a couple of diabetes classes run by the diabetes people and they are really good and fun too. They help you understand it and they are only ever a phone call away. Sort of like AA I guess!!! Or even cookbooks anonymous!
