[QUOTE="MikeR71, post: 662301, member: 135175"] Hi Lindy - not much I can add to the advice you've already received. There was a time I could have told you what DESMOND stood for, but it's been too long since I was on it myself. All I do remember is that it's likely to be the most useful day you'll spend learning about this stuff. I was lucky to get on it within a couple of weeks of my diagnosis (4 years ago), and found it really informative - some of it is, at face value, quite scary (you won't believe how much sugar is in so much of what we all eat regularly), but if confronting the reality of those facts is what it takes to convince us to cut them out, it can't be a bad thing. One really useful aspect of my course (and I'm sure it's the same everywhere) was that they'll book you two places, so you can bring a partner who might need to be aware of some of what they tell you.
