Was referred by my doctor back in September 23 for the above course of 18 sessions - first 6 once a week, second 6 once fortnightly, and the last 6 once a month.
When I was referred to the course my blood sugars readings were 47, which is counted as pre diabetic, 48 being classed as diabetic, I am now down to 41 which is classed as within the normal range (Hoping to reduce it further).
The course is excellent and does requires a lot of effort on one's behalf and covers everything you need to know about diabetes and what can be done to prevent or greatly reduce the chances of getting it.
The course was run by a lovely lady called Katrina, who without her words of encouragement and coaching we might never have made it till the end.
If you are offered a place on such a course for god sake go and see it through till the end. It will save you a hell of a lot of health problems down the line. Not to mention the millions of pounds in the health service.
"The course is excellent"
