Managing diabetes (16+)
Space Station, 6 Denby Dale Road Wakefield WF1 1HR
Face to Face Recovery College Courses
The course is aimed at anyone over the age of 16 looking to learn more about managing diabetes. The course will explore the key behaviour changes which help manage diabetes and reduce the risk of long-term complications, whilst also acknowledging the role of medications and technology. The topics covered will include healthy eating, physical activity, stopping smoking and managing stress. Tutors will also discuss, high and low blood glucose levels, the annual review and share their lived experience to provide “top tips”.
The course will empower participants 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 understanding diabetes is also available. It is recommended to also attend this to accompany the management workshop.
