Diabetes Education - patient feedback

"I attended the diabetic information session on Tuesday 7th February at Wheal Northey. I just wanted to say thank you so much to the diabetic team. Not only did I find it extremely helpful and informative, but also inspiring. The team were empathic, kind and down to earth - could not have been better..."
"Having attended tonight's diabetes awareness group at Wheal Northey, run by Esther Gray. I wanted to provide my feedback from the experience. When I first arrived I was a bit sceptical about what to expect. Everything that I tend to enjoy eating, seemed to be on "The List" of bad foods. I arrived with this in my mind. I was pleasantly surprised about how informative tonights session was about the condition. I was given some very useful print outs about good and bad foods in regards to diabetes. Esther was very helpful in answering the questions that I asked about food choices. I came away from the group in good knowledge that I can make better choices, but at the same time still be able to enjoy most of the foods that I like. I came away feeling that I can control the condition and not let it control me.
Thank you Esther. A very professional, passionate lady who clearly knows her subject. Great Group." |
"I am writing to give my thanks to yourself and indeed all the Diabetic Team. I must however raise you Esther to the top of the woodpile and my reasons are as follows. Your delivery at the Diabetic meeting on 7th February at Wheal Northey was pitched just right for me. I felt your friendliness and your control and authority. You had a concise and measured voice and a touch of humour.
The information which you and Hayley Burgoyne gave was good and relevant to my needs and levelled to the point that I could take on board and digest. All the delivery and information motivated me to an inspirational frame of mind. This has never been achieved by any other Diabetic nurse over the many years I have been treated for Diabetes. In recognition of your caring work I will reward you and myself with a better improvement in my health. I wish you and the team further success in your tasks. Thank you from a lighter and less mmol/I patient." The Diabetes Education sessions are held once a month on a Wednesday evening at Wheal Northey. Patients can ask reception to be put on the waiting list for diabetic education, and will then be sent out a letter when a session becomes available.
