The programme aims to help people understand diabetes risk factors, future effects and simple ways of reducing the risks; which promote overall health and lessen the danger of developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
The Skip Diabetes programme has been developed by qualified and experienced Diabetes Educators, who have worked within groups and communities that are highly affected by diabetes. Through experiences, they have discovered areas for improvement in approach and implementation of diabetes prevention strategies.
Thus far, the programme is helping to fill the gaps that are apparent within the current measures in delivering diabetes prevention programmes. By filling the gaps, skip diabetes consider groups’ familiar settings and resources, culture, religion and language preference in all programme delivery.
