The Diabetes Epidemic - a Patient-Centred Approach - Course

[Vicsetter]

The University of Dundee, in conjunction with My Diabetes My Way and Diabetes Scotland - are again running a free online type 2 diabetes course: “The Diabetes Epidemic - a Patient-Centred Approach’. The course starts on Monday 25th September and it runs for 2 weeks. You can register your interest here: https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/diabetes-epidemic/1

Is it definitely free? I might give it a whirl then.

Last time I did a course with them the course was free, but at the end they wanted £49 to get the Certificate.

It is free but as Donald says it's £49 to get the certificate, unless you want to do caring/health advice the certificate isn't needed.

I like MyDiabetes My Way, but the website is really shaky and regularly seems broken for one thing and another. The reason for liking it is I can check my blood results before I see the diabetes team, so I can get the excuses polished.

All the certificates I ever struggled for in my life not one person every asked to see any of 'em...apart from that Duchess that time at the Equal Opportunities and I wasn't there five minutes; I didn't fit in, no dungarees.

My favourite certificate is the one I got from Leningrad Polytechnic in 1979 - I spent a month in Leningrad (now St Petersburg) and a language course was part of the time spent there 🙂 My degree certificate was quite disappointing - very plain! 🙂 It's the knowledge that counts, and I've known a lot of people who have the paper but haven't retained the knowledge 😱 🙂
