Diabetes, Cataracts, blood pressure and Mt. Rianier

Sunday 29 March

Manchester.

 

Good Morning!

 

mydiabetes is for patients, family members, friends and healthcare professionals and is about providing support and encouragement to each other along the diabetes journey.  It’s also about sharing our good and sometimes not so good news with each other.

 

The clocks have sprung forward and it’s a beautiful sunny day here in Manchester. The daffodils are in bloom and the trees are showing signs of turning green. The forecast is for settled weather and fingers crossed spring has won its battle with winter. Much like the battle with our health, diabetes, diet exercise etc it’s not always easy and but the spring sunshine tells me to keep going with the battle!
