It featured two sons trying to help their dad with his type 2 diabetes and the other problems that go along with it. It tackled his diet and they bullied him into an exercise plan (which may not be suitable for your OH but who knows). They have a website and, if you wish, you can pay for coaching (I am not paying) but use of the website is free and to me it just makes so much sense. Maybe your OH could look into it. Either way good luck and best wishes to you both.

Trying to get letters and filling out a form when so grief stricken has been awful. I did get fair-ish points, but some bits on the report weren't accurate. (mine is for physical problems; though I don't now feel very emotionally stable)<br /><br />This is a very hard benefit to claim. I'm sure you know all the procedures; so I wish you well. You are watched very carefully at this face to face assessment. I think your husband must already have the benefit, but they are now changing the goalposts relating to the mental health aspect as tribunals were overturning original low point scores. I sent loads of letters and reports, but wrote a rubbish form - be more careful than I was.Lesneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139947264337493961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495386739892445277.post-26564607501682184392017-04-24T03:18:42.222-07:002017-04-24T03:18:42.222-07:00Kate sending you good wishes, you are strong perso...Kate sending you good wishes, you are strong person Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922098567405119290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495386739892445277.post-43482248747679489542017-04-23T22:53:11.510-07:002017-04-23T22:53:11.510-07:00we are overun with rhubarb at the moment , but the...we are overun with rhubarb at the moment , but theres a limit to the amount you can eat without side effects , though its suprising what you can hide it in !!
