Managing your Type 2 Diabetes
Being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes may come as a bit of a shock and might feel overwhelming, but help is at hand. We can help you understand what having diabetes means for you and help you to gain confidence managing it and minimising the risk of developing complications.
On this page you will find useful online tools, information and advice to help you understand your diabetes.
We can offer you a choice of two, free diabetes management courses, one held in group sessions local to you and the other a bespoke online course delivered one to one by phone or app. Live Well Stay Well can also offer you access to a range of services as well as our self-assessment tools, digital goal setting and lots of other online resources too. You will be able to refer yourself directly to your chosen support programme.
If you have been told that you are at risk of developing diabetes you can reduce the likelihood of developing it by living a healthier lifestyle. Buckinghamshire residents have access to the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme. Your GP or practice nurse will be able to refer you to this service if your recent blood test shows you are at risk of developing diabetes. However if you choose not to use this service Live Well Stay Well can support you with eating healthier, losing weight and being more active.
