My G.P. asked me to take part on a 6 week course for Diabetes type 2.
The ladies running it are lovely and friendly.
I have been in remission for the last 3 years.
The course is giving information that I was given by my diabetic team a few years ago, but this advice never worked for me, in fact my diabetic journey back then got worse.
It was only after a very nasty kidney infection that damaged my already damaged kidneys (via diabetic neuropathy), that I started to research other methods of combatting this disease.
After 4 months of following the results of my research, I was told I was in remission, Last HBa1C was 44 mmol, my next blood test check is March this year.
I no longer have sleep apnoea, Blood pressure is back to normal, and the best thing ever, is I no longer take any type of medication, except the odd paracetamol if I get a stress headache or bad cold. Not bad for a 68 year old
I understand that the information they give is still relevant on many sites, and this course is run by the N.H.S.
I found the folder given to me in 2009 when I was first diagnosed, and not much has changed.
A gentleman in our group was recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic, he says his G.P. practice has given him no guidance other than sending him on this course.
He said he is finding it hard to understand a lot of the information and terminology, and is not sure what is pertinent to him.
I am enjoying the company of the other people on the course, but I wish the N.H.S. would investigate via research from the many of us who have gone into remission and held this disease at bay.
