REWIND your type 2 diabetes

This is a message of hope. And don’t we all need a bit of hope at the moment?

"I've been really bad"

One of the most common things I’ve heard when people come in for their diabetes check is this "I've been really bad" or "I've been really naughty". I usually try and explore what’s behind this with people. Usually, I find that there’s a shame issue, and then look to help people challenge it because it can be so powerful and so destructive to relationship and fulfilment.

Dealing with failure

We've probably all done it...made a New Year's resolution, started on a diet, joined a gym, tried to kick a habit...only to fall down. Here's an important point. It's normal to fail and take steps backwards.
