More Diabetes Resources

Her previous blog is here
She now appears to be duplicating the content but the replies differ. Frankly I find the Healthcentral blogs to run with all the speed of a snail on valium, David Mendosa and others have blogs there.

A couple of downloadable pdfs:
Derek Paice made his research available here
Maggie Davey made her story available, the pdf is here
For insulin users, not only for pumpers Insulin Pumpers also has a UK site

The Definitive Guide to Insulin, Blood Sugar & Type 2 Diabetes (and you’ll understand it)
While you’re there check out the rest of his Primal 101
You may as well read the entire rest of the site while you’re there. Then try the forums. By the time you’ve done that it might have given me a few months to finish what I started . . .
