Initial comments from patients I do not know why I am here? My GP said that I am borderline/ I have mild diabetes What can I eat or not eat? I do not know why I got DM I don’t think I have DM yet as my sugars are not high? Can I stop medication if my DM is better ? Can DM be cured?

Feedback after DESMOND What sort of things do you think are important? “Learning to self-manage” “I now know how serious it is” “Going for regular tests, portion control, lowering intake of sugar, salt and saturated fats” “I feel good in myself and more relax” “I do not know why more people do not come to DESMOND” What do you understand better? “The interactions about the various types of management” “That I cannot ignore the warning and that I must be sensible to live longer + better!” “Very helpful-at least I know what food to avoid and what to eat” “What is happening in my body” “Can I come back again?”

Future Plans for DESMOND Additional venue in North West Camden Saturday DESMOND More trained educators Working with referrers to promote DESMOND to patients (to increase opt-in and attendance)
