Advice booklets free to diabetics

- Jenny Hirst Co-chair IDDT

THERE is no doubt that many of your readers will have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.

Unfortunat­ely we have found that many people with diabetes feel they do not have enough informatio­n to help them with their diabetes.

With this in mind, the InDependen­t Diabetes Trust (IDDT) offers FREE booklets including, ‘Understand­ing Your Diabetes’ and ‘Type 2 Diabetes – Management And Medication’.

They provide informatio­n in nonmedical language to help people understand their treatment, improve their health and to make life easier.

One of the important aspects of the treatment of diabetes is eating the appropriat­e diet.

We know that from time to time, it can be difficult to curb the desire for sweet things but these foods raise blood sugar levels, something that needs to be avoided for people with diabetes.

So we also have a FREE booklet ‘Diabetes – Everyday Eating’ which contains 28 days of menus of everyday, affordable meals, and much more.

All our booklets are FREE and we are happy to send copies to your readers of ‘Understand­ing Your Diabetes’, ‘Type 2 Diabetes – Management And Medication’ and/or ‘Diabetes – Everyday Eating’.

We hope you will let them know that we can help. Telephone IDT on 01604 622 837 E-mail: enquiries@iddtintern­ational.org
