Programme Learning Objectives
Insulin Educator Course: click here to download
A lifestyle-focused structured education programme to help people with Type 2 diabetes on insulin to improve diabetes control, health and wellbeing, in addition to reducing (or even omitting) their insulin. People with Type 1 diabetes can attend the programme to learn more about how lifestyle factors can impact on blood glucose levels, but it is likely that they would require further support outside the programme for insulin dose adjustment, continuous glucose monitoring and other insulin essentials.

Our award-winning X-PERT Diabetes Prevention & Management Education Programme is designed to support anyone with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes regardless of treatment (newly diagnosed or established). We are passionate about the quality of our education. We believe that with a greater understanding of diabetes and weight management, people you can make different choices towards transforming their health, reducing medication and ultimately achieving remission.

This programme has been specially designed and developed to provide people with the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to lose weight, and/or improve their general health, in a sustainable manner. Individuals are invited to attend 12 sessions, digitally or in person, over 12 consecutive weeks. Each session lasts 90 minutes, and focuses on a different topic; though there are several consistent themes throughout the programme, including a focus on avoiding ultra-processed foods and on choices being made based on the needs and preferences of the individual.
