Official – Type 2 diabetes can be reversed

Coventry and Rugby CCG have adopted a revised diabetes care plan.

After much discussion and planning a new approach to diabetes type 2 has been agreed.
Diabetes type 2 is preventable.
You should take up the running if diabetes (type 2 ) runs in your family!
Diabetes type 2 is a reversible condition. Loose weight.
The most important part of the treatment is eating less and exercising.
We will be reviewing medication and offering newer medications that have better outcomes.
We have new approaches to informing you about your disease.
A care plan will be tailored to your needs – based on your “numbers” of blood pressure, HbA1C and cholesterol. Optimal treatment will prevent or delay complications which include heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, blindness, foot ulcers, and amputations.

Please ask nurse for further information.
