What's new?
Newly updated “Diabetes & You” Type 2 Diabetes education sessions…..
- These sessions are FREE and are currently running at health centres across the city. Anyone with Type 2 Diabetes can attend, no matter how long you’ve had the diagnosis or how it is managed.
- We provide an informal but comprehensive overview of what diabetes is and why we develop it; how you are managed & monitored; the role medication plays; and how to manage diabetes with food & lifestyle choices.
- Self-conscious about attending a group? Don’t be! We provide an informal, relaxed environment where you can learn more about managing your diabetes and feel free to interact as much or as little as you want. You may wish to bring a friend, relative or carer to support you during the session – that’s ok, just let us know so we can accommodate them.
- The sessions run over two consecutive weeks, lasting two hours each time with a comfort break, and are delivered by our Diabetes Specialist Nurses & Dietitians. You may already have some questions prepared, which we will do our best to answer for you. We will also provide a handbook to support the information discussed during the sessions, although you may wish to bring some paper to make your own notes.
- Courses run between 10am-12 noon, 1pm-3pm and 5.30pm-7.30pm at the following Health Centre’s: Speke, Garston, Breeze Hill, Townsend, Yew Tree, Childwall, Picton Medical Centre, Croxteth Fire Station, Mere Lane Practice, and Kensington Health Centre
- You can self-refer by contacting us on 0151 529 2130 and booking on to your nearest session, or request your GP or Practice Nurse refer you in.
