Diabetes Snippets Sat, 16 May 2026 08:57:48 -0400 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2161000 en-gb © 2026 Diabetes Snippets yes f059d249-f1a5-52fa-83c5-bef7ce30d005 Maureen episodic false My name is Maureen aka The Diabetes Lady, I have put together snippets of information around diabetes particularly Type 2 diabetes. 
After all, this does account for the largest portion of the Diabetes population. I have found over my 30 years plus working with those living with diabetes peoples attitude towards diabetes hasn't changed.
Health Care Professionals attitude has, we understand the importance of ensuring that you understand as much as possible the importance of your taking back control of your 'Diabetes'.
I am hoping that these brief podcasts give you an understanding of how its all in your hands - its not about being 'borderline' or 'you have a little bit of sugar'......... it's understanding that changes need to be made and the changes need to be your new life living with diabetes.

Here again, discussing PreDiabetes, have to inform you that I do signpost people to Diabetes UK and now NHS Healthier You, which you can self refer or refer via your GP for help and support. I meant to mention but forgot.
The biggest issue is diet and exercise, eating in moderation and looking at portion sizes, when you do it makes a difference. 
In how you look and feel. Thank you for listening. Maureen :)
