AS PREPARATIONS and excitement for Christmas grows, some of your readers who have diabetes will realise that Christmas is not as straightforward as it used to be.
Christmas is a time for treats and a bit of over-indulgence but for someone with diabetes, Christmas can be a time of temptation, unpredictable or delayed meals, extra nibbles, excitement and stress, all of which can make managing their diabetes more of a problem.
We recognise that Christmas can be a difficult time for people who have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, especially the first Christmas with diabetes, so we have an information pack which includes our booklet, Diabetes – Everyday Eating and our Christmas Tips.
We are happy to send out this information pack free of charge to any of your readers to help them over Christmas.
To obtain this information, your readers can contact IDDT on 01604 622837.
Alternatively email enquiries@iddtinternational.org
