[QUOTE="Christine McMillan, post: 1572917, member: 334782"] Has your surgery suggested you join the XPert course? Best thing my husband ever did, I’ve been diet controlled T2 since 2006. I was told then as an overweight, nearly obese because of my petite body shape versus short height to follow the GI on carbs route and low fat. With a food XPert tutor you get to discuss the merits of all diets, v medications, insulins. You name it, they talk you through, and if like us you’re in a mixed group, you meet people with T1 and T2 in the same family, different cultures, plenty with comlex health conditions which affect diet, and a range of ages. The idea is by going to a neighbourhood group friendships might be struck up. As we can’t drive, this was not an option but certainly we could’ve made friendships in this way. There are other diabetic courses, DAFNE is another, HEIDI was a precursor of XPert if I remember. 6 x 2hr courses, free book included (and a cracker it is, its more than a booklet but not a book, we don’t have a word for it I’d say). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
