[QUOTE="maggy, post: 355254, member: 57331"] [b]Re: Have you done the DAFNE/DESMOND courses or anything simi[/b] I went on a Desmond course and took along my partner just to instil awareness to type 2 luckily he is fairly healthy . We found it extremely patronising and centered round the obese yet most people there were slim . All we gained was the knowledge of reading food labels but no advice on carbs ! They stuck strictly to their script as per NHS guidelines we were told that we would progressively get worse complications and be type 1 on insulin in the end ( not very comforting ) . When seeing my doctor a few weeks later he enquired about this course and I told him it had the required effect of terrorising me into action and he found this very amusing !! To anyone going in these courses I would advise to be open minded and possibly for some it could be beneficial . [/QUOTE]
