Never been offered one, but that seems to be the norm at our doctors, once they have made the diagnosis you are on your own.

EDIT: Just googled one of the courses DAFNE and it is for type 1 and I am type 2 so probably theses courses are not relevant to me
I attended a 4 week course, once a week for 2 and half hours, called Juggle. Each week they look at different aspects of Diabetes (type2) I was diagnosed 18 months ago as borderline so was told to cut out sugary things, which I thought I did. Ate nothing 'sugary' so thought was doing fine. Had to have an op so went for the pre op assesment, told the nurse I was borderline so she took my bloods and got back to me that afternoon advising me to go see my GP soon as pos as my bloods were sky high. Was put on Metformin and the Juggle programme was recommended. They basically told me to try and eat something carby every 4 hours to stabilise my sugars. Everything else I learned on the programme was pretty informative but the eating carby things confuses me as I thought eating too many carbs isnt good. I have just joined this forum and am reading about LCHF which is what Im going to be doing
sounds more like a procrastination specialistI was diagnosed in 2001, never been on a course and my Diabetic Specialist has postponed my appointments for 4 years
I am type 2. I have never been offered a place. The only advice I have really been given by my GP and DN is to cut down on sweet things and to avoid Heinz tomato Soup and pears.

Reading this forum is an eye opener, im a vegetarian so Don,t see a problem and have not saw a dietician, why cant you be vegetarianI am T2 .. When first told of this a random person working at my health centre read out loud from the Diabites magazine .. She held her finger under each word like she was reading a Janet and John book. I was told not to ask questions and at the end of this very boring waste of time she handed me the magazine to take home and read myself.. I dropped it in the bin as I left her room and thanked her for wasting an hour of my life. She did say I would be sent to a dietician.. But I would have to stop being vegetarian first ! Needless to say I have not been to see the dietician!
