What can we do about
Type 2 diabetes?

Once you have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes you may feel powerless to do anything about it, but actually there is lots you can do. Effective diabetes care comes through working closely with your diabetes healthcare team; the most important person in the team is you! There is so much you can do to help yourself and this programme will support you in taking responsibility for your diabetes on a day-to day basis.

We’ll help
you to:

Improve bad habits
Shake up routines
Take positive action
Learn more about Type 2 diabetes
Live a fuller life

Small steps to a
healthier you

We know how difficult this kind of change can be. That’s why our psychologists have designed a step-by-step programme to make it nice and easy. You sign up online and we ask you lots of questions so that we can tailor the programme to your habits and your lifestyle. We then send you powerful Do’s – small actions sent by text or email. Do your Do’s and you’ll find it easier to stay informed about Type 2 diabetes, deal with any worries and take action that can help you now and long into the future.

You are not alone!

Feeling good

Jean did a Do Something Different programme last year.

“Do Something Different has reminded me to eat better and get back into an exercise regime. Although I have always tried to do this, sometimes it slips, and this reminded me to get into good habits again. It has also brought to my attention it is good to have some fun and not to feel guilty about it..”

It's different. It's do-able. It's for you.
