[QUOTE="mariefrance, post: 2292459, member: 431076"] Hi Rosie I agree with Mr Pot. It's still worth considering the Diabetes Prevention course as it hopefully will be more than just the nutrition. My GP put me forward for the Desmond course. I didn't get a place on the course until 4 months after I'd been diagnosed. By that time I'd found my own path, with much thanks to this forum, Youtube, and Jason Fung, but I still found some of the other info on diabetes quite helpful. I also found out some useful info about local services from other participants , (e.g. a local GP who prescribes test strips for people with type II diabetes). You're right to be frustrated by the dietary info, me too, but one other benefit of going is you can pass on your experience of what's working for you to the group - even in the gentlest of ways - you never know how it might make a difference to someone else. Having said all that, I was retired by that time and so there were no issues with time off work, etc to think about. [/QUOTE]
