[QUOTE="Mags52, post: 15403, member: 1365"] Hi there I've been on the DESMOND course. It was very good - helped me to understand what was going on in lay person's terms. Mine was one whole day. The only bit I didn't much appreciate was the dietician giving the old standard idea about carbs being the mainstay in a diabetic diet. The only way I can keep my blood glucose under any kind of control is by vastly reducing carbs at every meal. Having said that I did use to be a pasta farian. Couldn't stop eating the stuff. Now I measure all carbs and its changed my eating habits dramatically. I also lost almost a stone in the first 3 months, although that has levelled out now. I waited 3 months before getting other clinical input and that was a good idea as changing my eating habits and exercising more did settle things down a bit yet still left them in no doubt I had Type 2 diabetes. HBa1c 7%. Keep up the good work. Margaret [/QUOTE]
