Welcome to the forum @Bernie 2I have been Type 2 for many years but still have some unanswered queries about this disease, especially now during Covid.
Desmond is for any T2, regardless of medication/management of their diabetes. Along with some local provision out there. I believe Expert is too.I think Desmond could be type 2 on insulin, the Expert Course (also apply online I think), is for type 2 s not on insulin
Some areas have Demond, which is 2 half days. Others have Expert (not to be confused with Expert Patient Program (EPP)), which is 6 half days. Some have provision created locally, with whatever name the local provider has landed on.The courses in each area have different names and it may be best to ask your surgery to ask what is available.
No the Desmond is for Type 2 , of all kinds, it was offered in some areas but during the pandemic has gone on line . As have many training programs.I think Desmond could be type 2 on insulin, the Expert Course (also apply online I think), is for type 2 s not on insulin
Oh - I've not heard you say before that you don't agree with testing before and after meals, to see what that particular food did to your BG and if it happened to be a greater increase than you wanted, adjusting what you ate so that you reduced or eliminated the unwanted increase.
So what method do you use ?
I quit [the XPERT course] after the 3rd session, mainly because the person running it constantly dismissed self-testing as a waste of time
