Understanding diabtetes MANY of your readers will have diabetes. Both types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2, rely on the person with diabetes being able to manage the condition themselves.
The Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust (IDDT) can help by supplying free information leaflets to your readers, especially those taking insulin. We are a charity formed by people who live with diabetes so we have experience and understanding of some of the day to day difficulties of living with the condition.
IDDT's Newsletter offers clear, easily understandable information about many different aspects to living with diabetes. The January 2009 Newsletter looks at why many people stop taking the statins they are prescribed to lower their cholesterol, an article about depression and diabetes, discusses the best times of day for self-monitoring of blood glucose levels and much more.
We are happy to send your readers the January Newsletter and free information leaflets. We are always here with a listening ear to offer support and understanding. They just need to contact us on 01604 622837, e-mail enquiries@iddtinternational.org or write to IDDT, PO Box 294, Northampton NN1 4XS.
