Today is the day I start my expert course, the one my doctor said din't exist because he had never heard of it. I got myself a nice new note book to make notes in and smoe nice new pens to write with.

My manager has given me duites at our building near home so I have plenty of time to get there (I will only have to work from 8am till 11.30 at the latest) and hubby will make me a sandwich so I can eat before I go.

I'll be back later or tomorrow to let everyone know how I get on.
 
It is a brilliant course - enjoy
 
Good luck Caroline I hope you get as much from it as i did x will look forward to hearing about it.

Expert Course Week 1

Hi everyone thanks for support. Am back after a very interesting afternoon. Although I didn't learn anything I didn't already know, it confirmed a lot of what I did know.

We covered self monitoring,;medication;health results and what they mean;health and lifestyle experiment and makingplans and setting goals for change.

There should have been 16 people on the course, but only 8 arrived. As we all have very different stories of our diagnosis and care, we benefited more from the experience of others rather than course content.

Length of time since diagnosis varied from a few months to 10 years.
 
nice one Caroline getting experience from anywhere is better then nothing, we only had half the invited people turn up to x whats week 2 covering ?
 
Week 2 is covering weight management and related issues.

It was up to the individual, they weren't going to suggest it but wouldn't stop you if you wanted to or asked for it.

I had to go out of my health care area to get this course as there are none in Greenwich and different areas have different policies on testing, so it is a post code lottery. I can test but had problems getting the course, most of the people I am with are not encouraged to test but got on the course easily.
 
there are lots of things that doctor never heard of .......not all doctors know everything

Sorry I should have answered this before. Yes I did. I got to the place a bit early and as the ladies were setting up, they were talking about having a new version with them.
