Alcohol Awareness Week – Diabetes Prevention Patient Webinar

Posted on:

Living Well Taking Control is hosting a free patient webinar on 9th July 2025, from 12:00 to 12:40, in recognition of Alcohol Awareness Week. The aim is to highlight the shared risk factors between alcohol consumption and Type 2 diabetes, and to stress the importance of early intervention for prevention.

This session is tailored for patients who are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes or have been diagnosed with prediabetes but have not yet participated in the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP). We are especially eager to reach out to patients from deprived areas, ethnic minority backgrounds, younger age groups, and those with a history of gestational diabetes (GDM), as these groups are at a higher risk.

Why is this important?

Early intervention can greatly reduce the chances of developing Type 2 diabetes and its complications, improve long-term health outcomes, and alleviate pressure on healthcare services. During this webinar, attendees will:

  • Learn about the connection between alcohol and diabetes
  • Understand the importance of addressing prediabetes early
  • Receive practical tips on healthy eating, physical activity, stress management, and better sleep
  • Discover free NHS resources available to support lifestyle changes
