Registered Psychologist and long-term diabetic Kirsty Higgins will join us to discuss the fear and anxiety which living with diabetes often brings about. What's normal? Are there ways to get the worrying out of your head and get on with life? What can you do if your worrying is making you feel really scared, or anxious and stressed?

Please join this discussion for some useful advice both from Kirsty's professional perspective and from the other people with diabetes who will participate and share their experiences.

The winner of our new competition will receive a $50 voucher to the online store of their choice (Amazon, Chaos Music, etc.).

How can a glass of wine reduce the GI of a meal? Do you really need to change over to the GI if you've been doing OK without it for 20 years? Where does the money from the GI Symbol program go? And what the heck is the GI anyway?
