EMPOWER: Diabetes Education Programme
EMPOWER T2n is a free education programme for people living with Type 2 diabetes. The course is paid for by the local NHS and lasts around four hours. The programme is designed to help you understand what Type 2 diabetes is, the effect it has on your body and how to make small, achievable changes to the food you eat and your everyday life. The course focuses on diet, exercise and lifestyle changes, and setting personal goals to support you in taking control of your diabetes.
You can choose to take the course online or at a local venue to you. Courses are run during the day, with evening and weekend courses also available. You can choose from:
EMPOWER Local. This is a face-to-face group session with between 6 and 12 other people, led by a trained educator in a local community venue to you.
EMPOWER Video. This is an online group session with between 6 and 12 other people, led by a trained educator using video conferencing.
EMPOWER Digital. This is an online learning platform where you work through the course at your own pace.
