More please!
We then asked which topics you'd like
us to cover. By quite a margin, the two
most requested topics were for weight
loss for Type I diabetes and weight loss
for Type 2 diabetes. Then came education
programmes about diet and diabetes,
followed by phone apps to track blood
test results. In joint fourth place were
The Glycaemic Index, The Glyceamic
Load and mobile phone apps to count
carbs. Joint fifth were more lifestyle and
wellbeing features along with how to
undertake exercise / sport when living
with diabetes. And last but not least, more
on counting carbs.
