Diabetes Blitz
Diabetes Blitz represents a simple concept based on the best available evidence for managing type 2 diabetes – we provide 3 key ingredients:
- The fundamental knowledge you must have, without fads or health crazes;
- The skills to apply that knowledge to your lifestyle;
- The resources that let you reach your full health potential
What does it mean in practice?
You are provided with comprehensive resources, both online and in print, that explain the interaction between the choices you make (in regards to nutrition, exercise, and a range of other habits) and the status of your diabetes (including the severity of disease and need for medications).
Your seven consultations are all about finding ways to apply that knowledge to your circumstances; that’s why all our sessions are 1:1 – because we recognise your needs are unique.
The outcome is that people with type 2 diabetes gain control; we’ll support you to lose weight, reduce your medication and improve your quality of life for the long term.
