Your local Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme is here to support people at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Programmes will be held in a range of locations across Westminster, Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea, Ealing, Hounslow, Brent, Harrow and Hillingdon. If there isn’t a programme running in your area at the time of your referral, you will be placed onto the area waiting list until the next programme begins. You also have the opportunity to attend programmes in other areas should you wish.
You can register for the program online, without referral, if you have your NHS number, your GP details and the results of a blood test within the past year that shows you are at risk of Type 2 Diabetes (HbA1c 42-47.9 or fasting glucose 5-5-6.9).
