Diabetes awareness (16+)
Space Station, 6 Denby Dale Road Wakefield WF1 1HR
Face to Face Recovery College Courses
This workshop is aimed at anyone over the age of 16 looking to learn more about diabetes and its effects on both our physical and mental wellbeing. The session is designed to provide learners with a deeper understanding of the two main different types of diabetes, exploring similarities and differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and including topics such as the causes of diabetes, what goes wrong in the body when diabetes develops, common symptoms of diabetes, how diabetes can affect physical and mental wellbeing and key health checks.
The course will empower learners with knowledge and understanding of diabetes and enable them to make more informed decisions about managing their own health and wellbeing and/or the health and wellbeing of those people they care for.
Please note: A further course on the management of diabetes is also available. It is recommended to also attend this to accompany the awareness workshop.
