Message: <blockquote data-quote="Paul1976" data-source="post: 298364" data-attributes="member: 40900">Mine was 2 half days too although I contradicted everything the Nurses were advocating and got banned after the first session,I hoped to maybe enjoy meeting other Diabetics but sadly the other people on the course LOVED the nurses for telling them that cream cakes,chips,bread and chocolate bars were ok as a once a day treat,one person blamed themselves for developing the condition because they used to drink diet coke which in there opinion was "Still full of sugar",the nurses did not correct that statement or when another person,when asked what increases blood glucose,he answered "Fat and Booze",the nurses did not disagree but I did and it went down like a lead balloon,just like my opinion of reducing carbs and eating to your meter,none of the other people tested(or had a desire to) and the nurses said there was no need to,no surprises there and by the end of it I was the most hated person on the course,a wasted day that made me want to pull my hair out in clumps! :thumbdown:Edited to say this is just MY experience of DESMOND,other PCT's may do it different and some members have found the course useful.</blockquote>
