[QUOTE="original_woodie, post: 1702568, member: 469069"] Recently diagnosed with Diabetes (still waiting on a full T1 or T2 diagnosis but that's a different story) Coincidentally diagnosed at a time when I was weighing up a career change and retraining as a personal trainer. I carry a little weight but until recently regularly participated in various sports and long distance running. You can imagine the blow of discovering I'm diabetic but I'm keen to embrace this lifestyle change and use it as a positive in my life going forwards. With the knowledge of Diabetes (I'm not saying I'm an expert- but in my experience neither are the GP's!!) I've gained in recent months about my condition I realize how important healthier easting, exercise and perhaps more importantly knowledge and support can be I'm looking at setting up Personal Training with a slant towards specifically Diabetic members/clients; most personal trainers I've spoken to, seem a little naïve on the matter, but have expressed reservations in even taking on Diabetic Patients. The idea would be to support increased exercise and fitness regimes, alongside of dietary planning and advise support and encouragement I'd be looking to cover various levels of exercise to suitable high level intensity to cover those more capable, through to more gentle exercise to the less able/starters, I've even potentially a Diabetic Nurse who is willing to assist. Would this be something you would specifically consider? Would you pay a regular fee for twice weekly classes/support groups? What would you like to see from such an experience.? Do you attend Personal Training Session or Boot Camps as a Diabetic - what knowledge/understanding is there to your condition, or is it left to yourself ? While I appreciate I'd be limited by the region currently reside in at first. I'm very keen to tap into the level of interest as I consider the viability Appreciate this borders on Market Research; so apologies if I step on any forum rules/regulations [/QUOTE]
