Just back from the doctor and he has told me I am diabetic. Not on medication yet but trying to manage through diet. Are there any other forum members who are diabetic who can give me any general advice.
I normally drink Lucozade or Powerade drinks while I'm playing and munch on fruit bars but I'm guessing these are out now as they are full of processed sugars. I understand that bananas are still ok but I need to know what sort of things I should be eating drinking now as I play (and off course too)
The worse thing is I've got to test myself by pricking my fingers with a blood monitor twice a day. I have a huge needle phobia at the best of times so this actually sickens me to my stomach to have to do. Starting that tomorrow and already got sweats!!!
