Diabetes Connect

Take Control of Your Diabetes

If your recent blood test (HBA1c) result was pre-diabetic, and your GP has referred you to our service, you can work with us to find the right solutions for you. Our support will offer you a space to reflect and then decide on what actions to take.

We will arrange six friendly one-hour sessions, to suit your schedule. You will also meet other people to share ideas, information, and your experiences, in our workshops.

We are working with the Greenway Community Practice (GP) to test our new service, focussed on improving your pre-diabetes test result.

Our sessions will take place at the Greenway Centre which is opposite the Greenway Community Practice.

We will work together to adapt your current lifestyle through:

group work and individual meetings
planning your food, drink and physical activities
finding further support in your community

The benefits you may experience will be:

feeling more awake
having fewer headaches
reducing aches and pains
limiting the harmful effects of high sugar levels in your blood
living a longer and happier life, in better heath, while staying independent as you age
feeling less alone and more connected in your diabetes journey

About our Diabetes Project

This is new and free diabetes prevention test project (pilot scheme).

We want the pilot to work so we can continue and expand it further to benefit more people.

As part of the project, you are fully in control about what information we save and share about you, with your identity fully protected by us and your GP.
