I only got one full day with both beginners course and then the Xpert refresher course .
Got them both done in a full day session .
How times have changed in less than 5 years .
Ten years ago, I got no course, only a short chat with practice nurse and a booklet from British Heart Foundation advising 6 - 8 portions of starchy carbs a day. I had already been following this advice for several years after gaining weight. Doh! I was a bit slow in recognising the link to more weight gain and T2 diagnosis. A prescription for Metformin and meter and strips were given. The test strips stopped 5 years ago.
