[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2137518, member: 493719"] Nice point, succinctly put..agree. [USER=499223]@Listlad[/USER] i hope my odd take on the reply didn't make it seem i was mocking you. a brilliant effort indeed. it was the reply and how it was worded, that got my goat. "Many thanks for your email regarding the DESMOND Programme. DESMOND has been delivered locally for over 12 years". So 12 years and the stats are..? " It encourages people to self-manage and individualise their management strategies by encompassing an understanding of the condition and associated risks. " so all of that is expected, but by god do NOT check what the foods are doing to you, by using a meter.:rolleyes: "cannot advocate specific treatment approaches during the course. It does not dismiss these approaches but recommends that participants seek individualised advice from their own health care professional to ensure that they are choosing an appropriate method of management and to ensure that they receive ongoing monitoring and support." So don't tell us about the alternatives, on an educational course for those who know next to nothing, then tell us to go see our HCP, who will simply tell you the meter is wrong, wrong, wrong, and will not offer the alternative choices in the majority of cases, and will in many documented on here, get quite irate and INSIST patients STOP low carbing and increase the carbs. Mmh doesn't sound like the idyllic little scenario they seem to be portraying. Listlad, you done well...i LIKE and RESPECT that. Sadly Desmonds is but the tip of the iceberg most of us see at first DX for those of us here, we saw the dangers and jumped ship before too much damage was done. Yet there are FAR too many others left to sail on blissfully unaware of the coming storm. [/QUOTE]
