A GROUP which has been set up to help diabetics is holding one of its free regular meetings in Skipton on Monday.

Low Carb Skipton, which is aimed at helping those with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes as well as pre-diabetics, meets at the Rendezvous Hotel at 7pm. It is open to anyone interested in the benefits of a low carbohydrate and healthy fat diet. Organisers say the get-together allows diabetics to share their experiences as well as listening to people who have already achieved reductions in their blood sugar levels as a result of the 'low carb' approach.
