DESMOND Digital First

With providers of diabetes care across the country putting post-COVID-19 recovery plans in place to improve access to care, perhaps a digital solution is the answer?

The Leicester Diabetes Centre, part of the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust is offering a ‘Digital First’ suite of online, structured education programmes that offer flexibility around the prevention and management of Type 2 Diabetes.

The NHS approved ‘Digital First’ suite of programmes are based on the award winning DESMOND self-management education and features short videos, articles, interactive activities, diet and lifestyle guidance, ‘ask the expert’, and community-based forums.

T2DIABETES

Our Type 2 Diabetes management programme is suitable for anyone with a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes, regardless of whether they are newly diagnosed or have established diabetes.

LET’S PREVENT DIABETES

Our Let’s Prevent Diabetes programme supports individuals to reduce their risk of Type 2 Diabetes and to understand how to maintain this for their long-term health.

BABYSTEPS
