"Communication about hypoglycaemia between healthcare professionals and patients with type 2 diabetes needs to be improved, the results of a survey suggest."

I was invited to a discussion group called DESMOND (T2), hosted by the NHS , however it was my dietician that gave me the information not my GP.
I found the information invaluable and would recommend this course to newly diagnosed and for people with T2 who are having health problems and those who have difficulty understanding the disease.
I was able to have my wife accompany me,she now fully understands the diet aspect of T2.

There is also a course for T1 called DAFNE
