"Diabetes Prevention Programme"

About: Promoting Well Being / Diabetes Prevention team

(as the patient),

I am currently using the Diabetes prevention programme which is delivered into my Home every fortnight.   I'm finding it very informative and a great resource for being delivered online. I think that it should be delivered to the general public as a healthy eating plan and a  way of life to follow to be healthy and have a healthy diet.   Also to inform those folk that really don't know what healthy eating really is.   On the social media most foods published mainly is food full of fat and sugar. I think im the only one on my group who is having the programme delivered to me for a different reason that the rest and that is to put on weight rather than to lose weight. I am following the guidance given to me, but so far haven't put on any weight. anyway I do think it is a good programme.

Good Morning and thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback on the Diabetes Prevention Programme. I am glad to hear that you are finding the programme beneficial and is educating you on food choices.

Due to Covid the programme had to be adapted and delivered on the internet via Zoom. This is proving to be a great success and enabling us to deliver the course to patients in the comfort of their own home and reach people who may not have previously taken up the course. Each participant on the programme will be have different needs and I would encourage you to speak to your coach at your next session if you have any concerns or queries.

Many Thanks

Malachy Nixon

Diabetes prevention programme manager
