Regular writer Sue Marshall tells you how to get your New Year’s resolutions back on track!

Diabetes denial - are you a victim?

We may have just come through the chill of winter, but some of you have still been grabbing every opportunity to get into the big outdoors for some healthy walking.

Research has shown that physical activity can play a major role in controlling both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Exercise can lower blood glucose, lower blood pressure, lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, raise HDL (good) cholesterol, lower risk for heart disease and stroke and improve the body’s ability to use insulin.

Have you ever wished you could apply for a licence to drive a large vehicle?
We know for a fact that many of you want to, and the good news is that people with type 1 diabetes can now do so, following a change of heart by the Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency.  You can also make the process easy by using Bayer’s glucose monitoring equipment.
 

Got any nagging issues on your diabetes which you want some reassurance on?  Or just diagnosed and want a recap on the huge stack of information which has been directed your way?  Or do you want some tips and handy advice on how to help your child with some coping mechanisms, if he or she is struggling to come to terms with diabetes?

We know that more and more of you want to access your blood glucose reports when you’re out and about, rather than having to come back to the computer, so now you can!

A survey by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) has revealed that many Britons do not know which everyday foods are high in calories.

Slow release carbohydrates represent part of a sensible eating plan, especially if you’ve upped your exercise levels in the New Year.  This chicken and rice dish is an ideal recipe for supper or as a snack for lunch, to help keep you going and avoid a sugar low.

Everyone likes the convenience of shopping under one roof for the stuff you need, and now Bayer offers you just that with our own products in our own brand new online shop!
