National Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP) ‘Healthier You’

Recently guidelines have changed regarding the blood sugar levels that constitute an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

At the beginning of 2016 the Government implemented the National Diabetes Prevention Programme – ‘Healthier You’, which is due to be rolled-out across the country and hopefully depending on the response from our patients it will be available locally to our surgery.

The programme is being delivered by Ingeus and the aim is to support people, identified as being at increased risk of diabetes, to reduce their risk of developing the disease by providing advice on diet, weight and activity.
