Done.
I discovered our practice was or is one of the last in England to get going with Patient Participation Group sessions. And...it was saturated with elder representation with high focus on the support for the elderly. It wasn’t a complete waste of time and future meetings could well provide an inroad on dealing with T2 diabetes in the community. @Pipp
It was a 2 hour session which commanded a lot of patience.
Oh and I am down to 92kg now. BMI 27.4
Edit for further info:
The PPG meeting included a visit by an individual working for the NHS who had been tasked to organise support groups and support for and amongst the patient community. She went through a list of items but ironically did not get as far as Diabetes. Over the page on her list were Desmond courses. Most of the meeting was taken up by elderly represents focussing on elderly care in the community and so Diabetes didn’t get a look in at the meeting that day.
