Proposed budget
Description
The Diabetes Awareness Workshops started at the Wordsworth Surgery in November 2023 and repeated in September 2024 to include residents from five GP practices in the North East London PCN. The workshops proved very popular with residents who benefitted greatly. We are seeking funding to develop these workshops so that we can serve more people, help reduce the risk of diabetes and improve the health outcomes for people living with diabetes.
You will receive a range of information including: understanding diabetes, your medication and management of the condition; diet, nutrition, simple meal preparations and understanding food labels; exercise, qi gong and other physical activity to prevent or improve the condition; prevention of diabetes related complications; how to use your glucometer; how to have peace of mind and a positive approach to a diagnosis of diabetes through relaxation and breathing techniques.
As a Senior Lecturer in Allied and Public Health at the University of East London, I am passionate about empowering people living with diabetes.
The sessions start in March 2026. Just turn up and get registered. Wear loose clothing and come prepared to share and to learn.
I look forward to receiving your votes.
Proposed budget GBP £4,854.00.
