Empower your patients with diabetes to manage their condition and achieve better health outcomes. Diabetes 1-2-3 is a structured self-management programme led by dietitians from Alexandra Hospital, designed to equip your patients with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to take control of their condition.
The programme focuses on three core pillars of effective diabetes management:
- Diet and Lifestyle Management: Practical guidance to improve blood glucose control through healthy eating and physical activity.
- Self-monitoring: Helping patients track blood sugar levels and identify early changes.
- Medication Adherence: Reinforcing the importance of following prescribed treatments for long term control.
Why refer your patients to Diabetes 1-2-3?
- Dietitian-led workshops which offer hands on, practical learning.
- Follow up sessions at three and six months to support sustainable lifestyle changes.
- Peer support network that motivates patients and encourages experience sharing.
- Interactive sessions with diabetic friendly refreshments.
This programme enhances patient understanding, boosts self-management confidence and reduces the risk of diabetes complications.
Encourage your patients to start their journey towards better diabetes control today.
