About the course

This online qualification offers a clear understanding of the different types of diabetes, how they develop and how they are diagnosed and managed. You’ll learn how lifestyle changes can help delay Type 2 diabetes and explore the ongoing care and treatments needed to control blood sugar levels effectively. With over four million people in the UK currently living with diabetes, and projections suggesting this number will rise to six million within 12 years, understanding how to manage and monitor the condition is more important than ever.

This course is ideal for those working or aspiring to work in healthcare who wish to expand their knowledge and demonstrate a commitment to supporting people with diabetes.

This course is split into four manageable units:

Unit 1: Understand diabetes

Unit 2: Prevention and early intervention of Type 2 diabetes

Unit 3: Understanding the initial care of diabetes

Unit 4: Understanding the treatment and management of diabetes

Please note, this is a fully online course and you will be given access to an online portfolio upon successful completion of the initial assessment process.
