TESTIMONIALS
It’s been great to use and find out how other people with diabetes cope.
I hope others will find the help and advice from you as helpful as I have.
A tremendous help in helping me to go forward and lose that weight.
myDesmond is the best Haynes manual of diabetes control that I’ve found so far.
The programme has encouraged me to keep going and not just with the exercise, it has encouraged me to knock my calories down.
All my answers have come from myDesmond.
