[QUOTE="Rose22, post: 2199203, member: 509613"] I too was told to attend this course in my local area from my gp surgery, when I was told I was prediabetic in 2016. I’m wondering have you got on the course? Only as I tried and tried and had no luck! They told me that there weren’t enough participants in my area yet (a large town in Hampshire) and that they would put me on a waiting list and contact me. I tried for six months to no avail. My gp quizzed me as to why I hadn’t chosen to do the prevention class and I complained I had tried but it is near on impossible. Including the telepohone number, it rings and rings, it was a huge call centre somewhere. A year later I was now diabetic as my blood sugars had gone upwards despite my efforts to bring them down, and can you believe it...I got a call from them great news I could join a class, I explained was diabetic and was told now wasn’t able to do the class as only for prevention. So for me personally the whole thing was a waste of time. Hopefully they have ironed out the problems (and stopped wasting time and money) and it is running smoothly and helping people that need it and being delivered effectively. [/QUOTE]
