Enrol and start straight away · assessment & instant e-certificate included
More than five million people in the UK live with diabetes, and the number is rising. It is a serious, lifelong condition that, poorly managed, can lead to devastating complications — yet with the right knowledge and support people with diabetes lead full, healthy lives. This course explains what diabetes is and what happens in the body with glucose and insulin, the main types (Type 1, Type 2 and gestational), and the symptoms, diagnosis and importance of early detection.
It then focuses on the things that keep people safe: recognising and responding to hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar), including diabetic emergencies, and how to support someone living with diabetes day to day — diet, monitoring, medication and reducing the risk of complications. It is an awareness-level course for care and health workers, teachers, hospitality staff and anyone who wants to understand diabetes and support those affected.
