Pre-diabetes means your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. The good news? It’s often reversible.

Eat Smart: Focus on whole foods, reduce sugar, and watch portion sizes.

Get Active: Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days – walking, cycling, anything that gets you moving!

Maintain a Healthy Weight: Even a small amount of weight loss can make a big difference.

Sleep Well: Prioritise 7-8 hours of sleep each night.

Regular Check-Ups: Keep track of your blood sugar levels and work with your healthcare provider.

Small changes now can make a big difference later 💙

Care Coordinators offer additional time, support, and expertise to help patients prepare for and follow up on clinical discussions with primary care professionals. Working closely with GPs and other PCN staff, they manage a caseload of identified patients, ensuring they and their carers receive suitable support and that their evolving needs are met. This is done by consolidating information on each person's care requirements and exploring options to address them within a personalised care and support plan, centred on what matters to the individual.
