Who is this course for?

-
If you or someone in your family has been diagnosed as diabetic (on medication or diet controlled management).
-
If you or someone in your family has been told that they are pre-diabetic.

If you wish to be informed in order to prevent getting this disease.
While the information is too general to work as a personal management plan you may find that you may be able to implement the few simple pointers to the lifestyle and habit changes that are presented in the course in order to help you steer clear of behaviour patterns that harm your health, and incorporate those that will enhance your quality of life. None of the strategies are expensive or overly time—consuming. However, they do require a measure of honest reflection and discipline.
