I first started blogging in November 2010 with a Wordpress blog called Fish, Chips & Mushy Peas. As a first blog it's ticking over, the last 3 months have caused me some problems but I think I'm ready to start managing the blog again.
In that time I've been dealing with the onslaught of problems associated with having Diabetes, starting my medication, combining that with additional medication for some complications, coming to terms with what it means to me and how it's likely to affect my friends and family.
With that in mind I'd like to share with everyone my experiences of how I'm combating Diabetes, hence the creation of this blog. I'd like to run this one alongside Fish, Chips & Mushy Peas, there may be some cross-over when it comes to diabetic food related posts but I'll try and be consistent about what I post on which blog.
