• Learn what you don’t know about Diabetes. What causes it? How you can stop yourself from getting it, reverse it or manage it
• Learn about Weight Management & Exercise Services available via the NHS as well as local Support Charities such as Diabetes UK
• Meet our Practice Clinicians to understand more about your Treatment Plan and Medications
