[QUOTE="SlimLizzy, post: 1976374, member: 488270"] My Diabetic nurse After struggling to understand what I should/shouldn't be eating for a couple of months after diagnosis was eventually given an appointment with her. Only when I insisted some help/advice was needed. Am underweight and had started losing significantly at that point. She did ask about my diet. Get my five a day, mostly wholemeal carbs etc. Hardly any sugar. Ooh alcohol, cut down on that. No other advice. " You are doing everything right. For some people diabetes is inevitable." BUT The doctor had suggested the NHS sponsered Diabetes Prevention Course. I hadn't been able to find one running locally, nobody at the surgery seemed to have heard of it. Sister A said she had seen several people before me who would have benefitted from such a course and was amazed that there wasn't one running in our town. ( pop over 85k) Couple of months later received an invitation to join the course. Think it was probably down to Sister A. Sister A name was already altered by me, but you were not to know that.
