Diabetes UK offers helpful literature and information but this is not really a substitute for personal advice from a properly trained dietitian. You can arrange to see a State Registered Dietitian through your hospital or your GP.

If you are overweight, you might be able to avoid insulin by dieting strictly and losing weight but only if you are eating more than you need at the moment.

So if you are eating too much, eat less and try to improve your control that way.
