If you have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and have not been offered structured education, then please contact your GP to request this.
Sentinel’s Type 2 Diabetes Education Sessions are run by a Nurse and a Dietician who through webinars or a group session will provide you with support and expertise.
People who have attended feel more confident about looking after their condition – and are less likely to suffer complications.
During the session you will have the opportunity to ask questions and gain knowledge, confidence and skills to effectively manage diabetes.
