We will have sent you a link to this page if you have recently had a blood test which shows you have a raised level of blood sugar, but not yet high enough to be considered diabetes. This is significant because it puts you at a greater risk of developing diabetes.
As such please read our pre-diabetes advice guide for further information on how to improve your blood sugar. Then please consider registering for the Diabetes Prevention course below.
If we have contacted you recently to explain your recent blood test results show a slightly higher level of blood sugar, then you are likely eligible for the Diabetes Prevention Programme, in order to reduce your chances of developing diabetes.
We have reserved you a place on the free Healthier You service now available in Coventry and Warwickshire. The service provides a tailored 9 month healthy nutrition and exercise support programme which aims to delay or prevent the onset of diabetes. The course will take you through 4 stages:
Stage 1: Initial one-to-one assessment with your Health & Wellbeing coach to assess your health and wellbeing using a number of measurements, including height, weight, waist circumference and a finger prick blood sample if required
Stage 2: Join a Healthy Foundations group, which consists of two elements; X-PERT Health nutrition sessions and physical activity drawing on healthy lifestyle advice
Stage 3: Join Prevention Plus group sessions which will help you to build on the dietary knowledge gained during the Healthy Foundations sessions
Stage 4: During your six and nine month reviews, our coaches will retake a number of your measurements, including height, weight, waist circumference and a finger prick blood sample
Across the country thousands of people like you have now attended local Diabetes Prevention Programmes and successfully reduced their risk of diabetes by achieving a healthy weight, being physically active and adopting a healthy diet. As well as reducing your risk of diabetes, Healthier You can help you to improve your overall health and wellbeing and give you the support and confidence to help you maintain those lifestyle changes in the longer term.
Our local sessions will be held in Leamington Spa.
