[QUOTE="Mick1959, post: 1733647, member: 468871"] I did the Desmond course for type 2, recently, and while the information on diabetes and how affects body was useful to us newly diagnosed, the rest seemed to be a tick box presentation. The course was delivered at a fast pace, and little attention was paid to questions asked, with only those that seemed to meet the 'expected questions' being answered, anything else received a standard response of 'we will cover that later' and added to a flip chart or, 'we are just the sign posts for you to find that out yourselves', or annoyingly, pretending they had not heard a question in favour of an easier one asked earlier. This was especially so when questions were raised bout diets (LCHF), food groups, their effects, spikes etc. Eventually, the group stopped asking questions, Common consensus among the group afterwards was that the facilitators rarely get a group prepared to question just why x was better than y, and wanting to look at heathy diets as a whole, and balance between food groups, not just good food / bad food in isolation.
