Desmond app

[Edith60]

Hi does anyone use the Desmond app?

I remember doing the Desmond course many years ago when I was first diagnosed, I must admit I didn’t find it totally helpful as at the time it promoted the Eat Well plate that recommends to eat carbs, this isn’t always the best thing for T2 diabetes as all carbs turn to sugar.

I don’t know if they still recommend this way of eating but I don’t think you’ll find many T2 on the forum who follow the Eat Well plate. The majority of our members use a lower carb diet to manage there diabetes.

I did the Desmond online course, yes, and I found it quite helpful when I was first diagnosed. I also found this site very helpful too, especially with the low carb advice.

How did you get to do it online. I was sent the link for it but it didn’t seem to work.

Seems you need a verification code @Edith60, we’re given one of those

Here’s a link to the sign in page

I got the verification code but it always says it’s incorrect.

Who gave you the code? Could you possibly contact them and say it’s not working, I’m assuming it’s your GP or a nurse etc

My verification code worked for me, maybe ring up your GPs to get another one.

It was nurse at the hospital.

It was nurse at the hospital.

Maybe call your GP and explain the situation, they may have a code you could use
