[QUOTE="KevinPotts, post: 1205211, member: 290458"] Sorry you had such a poor experience:( I had my DESMOND course a few weeks ago and it was significantly better, though far from perfect. Here's the link of the feed back summary I provided for the community:) [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/index.php?posts/1162422/[/URL] "OK folks...I got through to the other side, mind and body in tact:) Surprisingly it was more positive than I expected, which is not to say it did not have its challenges. 1. 6 hours of team teaching with two specialist NHS educators (both ladies). 2. Emphasis throughout on getting us thinking, responding to lots and lots of questions 3. Several team (group of 10) test tasks getting us to think together. 4. Thankfully no Eat Well Plate or the Pyramid. Thank the Lord:) 5. Fairly big emphasis on carbs being the root of the T2 problem and how important it is to limit and restrict these to limit insulin resistance. Not bad ... They would not support LCHF, but I was comfortable with what seemed to be a modified position following the recent NOF, PHC etc... Of which they were both aware. 6. OK on blood testing if Doc prescribes, but more emphasis on 3 monthly HbA1C as being the gold standard and essential as a regular test. 7. Cholesterol instruction ok, broke down and explained each component, but poor emphasis on LDL... No idea about Subfraction Profile. 8. Fats: worst part of the day, totally towed the party line on Saturated Fats being the "demon from Hell"...haha:) I graciously raised research and recent media and was backed up by an observing DN, but she was slapped down...so no wins on this:) So overall, not a waste of time, reasonably interesting, certainly an improvement from what I've heard of the usual DESMOND format, but some way to go on cholesterol and especially saturated fat. Tired now:)!" Sent from my iPad using [url=https://siteowners.tapatalk.com/byo/displayAndDownloadByoApp?rid=67]DCUK Forum[/url] [/QUOTE]
