The Healthier You, NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme has been created to support anyone aged 18 and over who might have an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
Risk Factors
High-risk factors for developing Type 2 diabetes include:
- your ethnicity
- your family history
- your weight
The programme aims to support you take the necessary steps to reduce the risk factors you can control, such as getting more physical activity and healthy eating.
More information on these topics, the signs and symptoms of Type 2 diabetes and treatment options can be found on the Diabetes UK website.
