[QUOTE="peacetrain, post: 603521, member: 96747"] I don't remember saying it wasn't a useful course. I do remember saying 8 months (or 7 months 2 weeks) is a little tardy for an invitation ESPECIALLY for people who may benefit enormously from it. I'm not criticising the course (only the timing for me) and I would recommend people give serious consideration to attending for the "empowering" reasons you mentioned. It was not my intention to discourage anyone from attending and I think I made it clear why it wasn't for me and you acknowledged this in your first paragraph. I'm not saying I know everything. I am sure I would learn something, but not enough to attend group meetings. Group meetings aren't my thing (I also mentioned this before) and that's a reason I don't go to slimming clubs either. They can add pressure to some people. Of course, as you say, we don't know what courses are like until we attend. All I can do is make an informed decision for myself, based on the invitation sent. Quote: "X-PERT Diabetes Education has proved to improve diabetes control, reduce diabetes medications, increase self-management skills, improve lifestyle and quality of life." As I believe I have achieved this 7 months and 2 weeks after diagnosis, I feel the course will be better suited to someone who needs it (more than I do). Please let me reiterate, I'm not saying I know everything. I'm saying the invitation is a little late for me personally. I'm one of the lucky ones (yes I feel lucky that I've been able to achieve what I have). I just feel these courses should be offered earlier rather than through an annual blanket invitation with a list of dates to choose from. It could be too late for some. .
