You may be eligible for your free local NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme

NHS England are currently allowing people who are identified at risk of Diabetes to refer themselves onto a free online programme via the Diabetes UK 'Know Your Risk' Tool, to help them reduce their chances of developing the condition.

Type 2 diabetes is largely preventable, but can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.

If you are at high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, your free local Healthier You service can help you put your health back in your hands and reduce your risk.

The first thing you need to do is to find out if you are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by completing a two-minute quiz.

Know your risk quiz

You may be low risk or you may be eligible for free support - either way it will be the most important thing you do today!

This pathway is only available until 31^st March 2021.
