My diabetes diagnosis was made when I was just five years of age. All of that time in hospital and attending various appointments with Diabetes Specialist Nurses, Consultants, Dieticians, Opticians, Chiropodists amongst others; began a childhood obsession with becoming a Doctor.

Please note that despite this first hand experience and childhood dream, I am not a Doctor. In fact, I am not a medical professional of any kind. This blog is based entirely on my own experiences, opinions and interpretations of advice provided to me.

By all means, I hope that my experiences shared in this blog provide guidance towards seeking actual advice from medically trained professionals. It is not however, intended as a substitute for the medical advice of physicians. Anyone reading this blog should consult a physician regularly regarding their own health and symptoms.
