World Diabetes Day

November/December 2023

Dozens of residents benefited from our Live Well with Diabetes event on Tuesday 14 Novermber, 2023. Held to coincide with World Diabetes Day, provider organisations offered health checks, expert advice and support with a Q&A session.

The aim of the event was to highlight why type 2 diabetes is so prevalent in Newham and to provide information about the range of free support programmes that are available in our borough. Oviva, which is delivering the T2DR diabetes remission programme and Thrive Tribe, which is providing the National Diabetes Prevention Programme, joined partners including East London NHS Foundation Trust, Newham University Hospital and Nutrition Kitchen.
