Advantages: Informative without being too technical Disadvantages: None
I have had a number of blood tests recently, which indicate that I have a high risk of getting Diabetes Type 2. This is why I have enrolled on a structured patient information course, specially designed for people with Type 2 diabetes called the "X-Pert Programme". This course gives you the opportunity to increase your skills, knowledge and confidence in managing diabetes and is completely free when you are referred by your GP.
The programme is run over 6 weeks :-
Week 1 - What is diabetes + Health results
Week 2 - Weight management - what is considered to be a portion?

Week 5 - Possible complications and understanding tablets

Each sesion is approximately 2 - 21/2 hours long with an interval ...

~~ UPDATED FEBRUARY 2006 ~~
I joined up with ZoomPanel through ipoints in December 2003. Quite frankly, I was most unimpressed with them at first.

We emailed a travel agent who specialised in Canadian travel and literally said what we wanted and what could they offer. The flight to Calgary and returning from Vancouver was with Zoom.
I hadn't even heard of Zoom, my husband said it was a low cost flight. Knowing it would be a long flight I was somewhat concerned as my experiences with Easyjet and Ryanair haven't been very positive. So after doing some research online we asked the travel agent to upgrade our seats to Premium.
