Did you know if you are living with obesity and also have diabetes, high blood pressure or both, your GP can refer you to a 12 week programme to help manage your weight.
It’s free and easily available via smartphone, tablet or computer!
If you feel you would benefit from weight management and match any of the criteria mentioned below, speak to your GP or Local Pharmacist who can refer you to the programme.
Who can be referred?
- Must be aged 18 or over
- Must have a BMI over 30. The BMI threshold will be lowered to 27.5 for people from black, Asian, and ethnic minority backgrounds, as we know people from these ethnic backgrounds are at an increased risk of conditions such as Type 2 diabetes at a lower BMI.
- You must have diabetes, high blood pressure, or both.
- You must have a smartphone, tablet, or computer with internet access.
