LETTERTRUE INSPIRATION
Wow, wow, wow! DL is
everything I need to get me
out of a rut after two years of difficulty
getting around on two feet, and a sore
back from a year confined, more or less,
to bed.
Yes, I’m a Kiwi, but I do so look
forward to your mag arriving in the post.
Many of the items mentioned in
the recipes we do not have here in
our Countdown Supermarket, so that
makes it hard finding alternatives, and as
an older generation brought up through
the times of rationing, it was all plain
food we lived on. I now find that my
body does not tolerate all the Asian-
inspired ingredients that seem to be
included in many of the recipes. Sad,
but it is a case of what can be tolerated,
and many of my friends find the same
body tolerance I speak of.
The Living Well section is really
topnotch this time as well, and I have
been devouring the contents since it
arrived in yesterday’s mail. Haven’t got
too far as I have already been encouraged
to try doing a little more exercise today.
Thank you for this wonderful
magazine and I can’t wait for the
next issue to arrive!

Thanks for the help
I felt compelled to
write after reading the
March/April 2018 issue.
I thankfully am not a
diabetic but am coeliac- for over 34 years –
and this causes me no
real challenges, now;
and four years ago I
was diagnosed with
scleroderma. This does
pose many problems,
health issues and
lifestyle challenges.
I’ve enjoyed many of
your gluten-free recipes
and dietary advice, but
now find so many
articles, advertisements
and lifestyle issues for
Take extra care when feeling sick
I have attended many courses, read lots of
paperwork information, and attend a diabetic
educator six-monthly. Not once have I read or been
told to be careful when I get a sore throat and use
lozenges to relieve symptoms. I know if I thought
about it I would have realised – sugar!!!
I had a very bad throat, took a lozenge often,
and ended up in the hospital with a reading of 24.
I didn’t have more than 5-6 lozenges in that day.
So I thought I’d write, so someone could give
a warning – maybe an article – about various things
to be taken carefully.

to this very serious

This issue, I’ve read
every article as I found
something for my
benefit and, if not, then
I’ve found I’ve learned
things I previously
have not known.
So, thank you to the
Diabetic Living team,
not only for the recipes,
the healthy eating and
living well articles, but
the important advice
many others – like
me – gain from
the magazine.
