We operate a community food advisor program that although not always a
direct peer led model (in that the volunteer presenter may be invited to the
group rather than a member of the group) it is accepted well because it is
community members and not "professionals" doing the presentation.

Subject: Peer Led Diabetes Cooking Groups

Hi there, Im wondering if anyone is aware of cooking sessions for people
with Diabetes that are based on a peer led model?? We ran a session last
week in response to identified needs from clients in a self management
project we are working on, and were amazed at the response, interest and
also the apparent need for this. Seemed the translation of food theory into
practice was not so easy in may peoples experiences, and there was a lack of
confidence in problem solving around food substitution etc.
Love to hear of what else is out there, as we are keen to apply for funds to
get something more comprehensive up and running here in Tasmania, Australia
