Diabetes

This series of films will help people understand more about diabetes – whether they’ve had the condition for a long time or been recently diagnosed.

They give practical advice about diet, activity, blood glucose monitoring, medicines and how to maintain good control. There are also films on coping with diabetes during Ramadan, regular tests people should make sure they have and guides to preventing and treating hypoglycaemia and anxiety or depression.

Our aim in this programme is to help people avoid the complications of diabetes and delay the need for medication.

We’ve interviewed a wide range of national and international experts as well as people who have diabetes and live well with it.

Does it work?

Yes – and we can prove it. Our films have been independently evaluated, with consistently positive results: patients understand more, do more, and feel more confident. Clinicians report high satisfaction and better engagement across the board.

Changes behaviour

Patients are more likely to take action, follow advice, and stay engaged when information is simple, relevant, and easy to absorb. Our films make that happen.
