Diabetes - the background, the facts
Comments from participants:
"I would like to congratulate you on the quality of your course. I was diagnosed with diabetes in January and even though my GP and Diabetes nurse were very helpful, I could not understand the facts. I have just finished my 6 week programme and found the sessions were run in a friendly, controlled and open manner allowing other sufferers to relate their experiences. I now understand the seriousness of my situation and am changing my and my children's lifestyle. Thank you" (Stuart, Wolverhampton 2011)
".. I found the information covered each week highly interesting and very helpful as I was diagnosed earlier this year with Type 2 diabetes and came away from the doctor's with very little information until I asked for some help. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who has just been told they have diabetes.." (Paul, Blackburn 2011)
"Don't feel as frightened as I did...feel more confident in myself....things explained so that anybody and everybody can understand"
