Would you like to be part of Vital Stepping Stones Self-Referral Prevention Programme for Diabetes?
What are the aims?
The long-term aims of the Diabetes Prevention Programme are:
- To reduce the incidence of Type 2 diabetes;
- To reduce the incidence of complications associated with diabetes — heart, stroke, kidney, eye and foot problems related to diabetes.
In the short-term, the programme recognises that a stronger focus on identifying people who are at risk of diabetes is likely to increase incidence of diabetes as more undiagnosed cases are uncovered.
Individuals going through the programme will reduce their risk of a range of conditions related to being overweight and obese, poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle. It starts during the first week in April in conjunction with the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme.
