About this course

What you will study

This comprehensive Diabetes Awareness course provides a vital foundation for healthcare workers and carers across the UK, where diabetes prevalence continues to rise. You will explore the physiological differences between Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational diabetes, gaining the skills to monitor blood glucose levels and interpret results within normal UK clinical ranges. From understanding medication like insulin to navigating the complexities of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), this training ensures you are equipped to provide high-quality, person-centred care. Beyond basic clinical knowledge, the course addresses the holistic needs of individuals, including diet, exercise, and the psychological impact of the condition. In any professional care setting, the ability to rapidly recognise and manage 'hypo' and 'hyper' episodes is critical for safety and long-term health outcomes. By completing this training, you will be able to implement preventative strategies, avoid common complications like diabetic foot issues, and offer informed support that improves the quality of life for those in your care.
