[QUOTE="KookieMunchster, post: 2034669, member: 503975"] Hi! I am similarly new although I did attend TILT as my diagnosis was in end Feb this year and because the DN (Diabetic Nurse) said that people who went on this course had a better outcome in terms of managing their T2. Like someone else has mentioned it is essentially a talk about "Moderation" and the "Eat Well" plate. I really found it depressing. Just about everyone else there had been pre-diabetic but were now fully T2 and on several drugs. There was only myself and one other person that was actually doing anything about their diet. When I was asked what I had for breakfast I said I didn't have breakfast and the well meaning lady beside me chided me for missing the most important meal of the day. The idea of "Moderation" is too abstract to grasp for people who think that they can simply eat less of what they used to eat before. I also said that I monitored my own BG and the nurse/dietitian conducting the course said it wasn't necessary and not recommended even. That is not to say that I didn't learn anything. I learnt what I should have asked about in the first place when I got my diagnosis ie. what my blood test results were etc.. and that this course was not particularly helpful to people who helped themselves. You will find a lot more help here so don't fret you're in good company. All the best! [/QUOTE]
