The booklet aims to help people reduce their risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes.  It focusses on key risk factors and promotes healthy eating and lifestyle approaches through self-directed behaviour change.

This resource is not suitable for frail/elderly people.

The audience will understand key risks of Type 2 Diabetes, and diet and lifestyle interventions will reduce these risks:

  • managing weight and reducing overweight will help reduce the risk of developing T2DM
  • losing at least 5% weight loss should improve glycaemic control
  • aim to be active through at least 30 minutes of moderate activity, 5 times a week.

By promoting messages from the Eatwell Guide, the audience will understand the importance of:

  • reducing/limiting, sweet/sugary food and drink; saturated fat; salt
  • including wholegrains, fruit and veg, oily fish and lean/plant-based proteins.
