Programme eligibility criteria has been expanded for the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme to include women with a past diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and a normoglycaemic blood reading within the last 12 months (temporarily extended to 24 months).
Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (DPP) is a face-to-face and tailored behavioural change programme available to people who are found to be pre-diabetic on their blood tests (HbA1c 42-47 mmol/mol) or patients with a past diagnosis of GDM. Due to Covid-19 this service is currently being delivered remotely, through telephone, group video conference and internet resources.
The nine-month programme offers patients advice on diet, exercise and healthy lifestyle through a range of support including sessions, motivational interviewing and digital elements including an app with videos.
Patients that are unable to obtain a blood test due to Covid-19 can now self-refer by completing the Know Your Risk tool. Participants with a score of 16+ are eligible to register. Get more information
