Feedback
"I just wanted to send a quick email to say how great the PITstop diabetes 3-day course was. It was excellently run, very informative and very relevant to my everyday practice, I have taken so much away from this course and thoroughly recommend it to others. Thank you so much for putting this on, I was a bit scared of diabetes before this course, but I feel more confident with it now - I will still need support but do feel like I can support people with diabetes and lifestyle much more confidently. Thank you so much for the opportunity of this training."
