People with Type 2 diabetes can get improved support to help them manage and control their own condition through a new   programme called Live Well with Diabetes.  It starts with a personal dietitian giving advice via phone or video and offers learning support materials sent by email and group sessions with other people living with diabetes.  If weight loss is needed then people can choose between attending Weight Watchers and having one-to-one coaching via the Oviva smartphone app. 

These services are free from the NHS as long as people are registered with a Bucks GP and have Type 2 diabetes.  There is  something to suit everyone’s style of learning and you can ask your GP, or even refer yourself via the Live Well Stay Well website www.livewellstaywellbucks.co.uk

 

Take the Five Minute Health Habits test and make sure you tick the “diabetes education” option and someone will contact you with all the information and to make arrangements
