Diabetes wellbeing awareness programme -type 2

[Sadsac@21]

I have just been sent an appointment for the diabetes wellbeing awareness programme. The problem with this is I was diagnosed 2 years ago. Everything I know and all my lifestyle changes have been done because of my own research.
From what I can see with this program I have already put into place. The surgery have been telling me for two years that they would refer me to it. Is it really worth me going to it

I did miss a couple of sessions due to holidays.
Overall for me I learnt nothing new (but having been diagnosed 6 years now and having educated myself myself I was already ahead of the game). It was a good reminder to help me to stay on track and accountable. We were weighed and waist measurement taken every session. I put on a kilo!

As expected they wouldn't countenance or recommend low carb or keto. There...
