Last week saw the start of our 12 week Diabetes Challenge Programme – New Year, New You. The aim is to help with lowering blood sugar levels, weight loss and improving mood. A whole programme of events has been put together by Jessica Berry from North Hampshire CCG.
We kicked off with a Carousel clinic last week – this involved individual meetings with nurses and doctors, iTalk (the NHS counselling service), a dietician, Basingstoke Sports Centre , the Red Cross and Diabetes UK.
Numerous events are planned over the coming weeks including a talk from Dr Ben Turner (Consultant in Diabetes), Dietician session, weekly Health Walks, Psychological Health session, smoking and alcohol advice, foot care and much more.
There is lots of great support here and we are sure it will be beneficial – looking forward to the celebration event in April! Good luck to all taking part!
