A community for support of and sharing of experiences by all who are affected by type 2 diabetes.
Please read the rules before your first post. Feel free to post about any type 2 subjects you wish. The only silly questions about diabetes here are the questions that should have been asked but were not. Spam, kooks and links to 'cures' will disappear without trace.
