[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2205219, member: 493719"] Hi [USER=504557]@Anniz[/USER] METER, METER, METER..all day long. it's not a should you, it's a how else will you know..? [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] post is a good un, lots to get you thinking. Like other says the courses..meh.:rolleyes: mine was late like yours and by the time i had it i knew more then most in the room, (not too hard, as many just wanted to take the meds and get back to whatever they were doing previous to course starting) so i doubt your missing anything earth shattering. trainers were nice, and after the course i sat back to ask for honest feedback, (what to expect, was low carb ok )..while not hostile to it, lets just say it didn't get a glowing report...but they didn't inspire me then or now to go the Eatwell plate, especially after reading up on SO much on here. You WILL learn more on here, that's a Given..24/7 access Versus 10 mins with doc and a few hours+ in class But i did find it nice to meet in the flesh fellow sufferers. the Retinopathy, sounds scary, but it is just to check the the eyes, unlike the opticians they look for tiny bleeds which MIGHT indicate an issue..mine were fine as are many others..it's just a precaution, and if anything is found they have the first chance to begin checking more closely. i think you get called back for a 2nd HBA1c test after a few weeks Mine was 6 weeks in,, the eye scan was months after..i think i DX in aug and eye scan was december, course was November, if i recall. Best wishes for the journey, lots of helpful people on here, you won't be lost for advise & support if needed [/QUOTE]
