Watch: How can you work out the carb content of food
A series of NHS videos offers a wide range of advice on living with diabetes from diet to lifestyle.
The team at NHS West and North Hampshire Community Diabetes Services have a dedicated video channel designed for anyone living with diabetes or caring for someone with diabetes.
The videos cover many aspects of living with diabetes, including: what is diabetes?; understanding type 1 and type 2 diabetes; managing diabetes effectively – from diet and exercise to medications and how to treat hypers (high blood glucose), and hypos (low blood glucose) for those on insulin or sulphonylureas.
A statement from the All About Diabetes team said: “Empower yourself with the knowledge to take control of your health!”
