[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1146267, member: 211504"] I think the concept of the business isn't a bad idea, but needs a little tweaking. Meal preparation is a bad idea because then you'll likely need a food license. That complicates things. Paying dietitians could also get expensive if you want someone with legitimate credentials and qualifications. Personally, I think the idea would be better directed towards providing "Diabetes Life Assistants" not to be misinterpreted with "Assistance." Scenario 1: I'm just diagnosed with diabetes and want to start a low-carb diet, but I don't know what foods are low carb and I don't want to spend time in the grocery store....I pay someone to do this for me. The assistant wouldn't necessarily be providing me with dietary advice, but would help buy my groceries that cater to my particular dietary needs. It bypasses any sort of medical barriers but still provides a service people often don't want to deal with. Scenario 2: I want to exercise more. This would require personal training licenses, but anyone can get one of those (at least here in the US). Pricing: you would charge hourly for the PT sessions just as most do, but there would be "Add-Ons" such as the grocery shopping. Hypothetically, you could also do things like "Data logging" to chart progress on blood sugar trends, body weight, etc. Again, this would be a premium service. I love these kinds of threads because it's always cool to see other people's creativity. [/QUOTE]
