Insulin Pumpers UK provides information, support and educational materials to people with diabetes, their families, and medical professionals.
Pump propaganda After barely two years on multiple daily injections, I'm ready for something better. An insulin pump should provide me with more flexibility and better control than I have now. This is the start of my quest for a pump.
The Glycaemic Index The glycaemic index can help you make food choices that make your diabetes management easier. Rick Mendosa is one of the leading exponents of the index and his sites discuss the index in detail.
Who am I? Elizabeth OShea works as a writer, and spends a lot of time on voluntary activity. Most of this activity is now focused on diabetes.
She was diagnosed as having type I diabetes on 30 December 1997, two weeks
after arriving in San Francisco, where she had gone for an adventure.
And what an adventure it was! She tends to be zealous in her
approach to diabetes, but her message is simple: your doctor doesn't
know everything, so you better find out for yourself and you do
not have to get complications!
