HEAL-D is a seven week diet and lifestyle programme open to Lambeth residents. It has been culturally tailored and developed to support and empower people of African and Caribbean heritage, who are living with type 2 diabetes, to take charge of their health whilst enjoying the food from their culture.
We’re delighted to announce that the Type 2 Take 2 programme and the Lambeth/Southwark Young Adults Diabetes services have won the ‘Young People’s Service Award’ at the Diabetes UK Conference in March for the second consecutive year. The programme demonstrates how a collaborative approach can provide meaningful support and drive real, lasting change.
In Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Week, 22-28 May, Lambeth Together health and care partnership wants to highlight the importance of knowing your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. And share what you can do to reduce your risk through lifestyle changes and joining ‘Healthier You’, the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme, via your GP.
