This CPD-accredited diabetes awareness course explores the basics of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and the common causes and contributing factors. You’ll also learn about the impact diabetes can have on lifestyle and health, the challenges associated with complications, and the importance of awareness for prevention.
This course aims to give you a balanced understanding of:
What diabetes is and the differences between each type.
The social, genetic, dietary, and lifestyle factors that can contribute to diabetes.
The challenges and risks associated with diabetes complications.
Everyday choices that are linked to how to manage diabetes and reduce risk factors.
How greater awareness can support families and communities.
The course introduces you to type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes, explaining exactly how they differ. You’ll also explore some of the common myths and misconceptions about diabetes, gaining an understanding that can be applied in everyday conversations or awareness campaigns.
You’ll learn about the causes of diabetes and the factors most often linked with type 2 diabetes. The course highlights the influences of lifestyle, genetics, and environmental factors that contribute to the onset of diabetes, while discussing the general concept of prevention.
The course also looks at the wider impact of diabetes, from the complications that can occur to the emotional and social aspects of living with the condition. Rather than focusing on medical treatment, this diabetes awareness course encourages you to think about awareness and supportive approaches in personal or community contexts.

On successful completion, you’ll receive a recognised certification that can be used for personal documentation or as a first step into further study in health and wellbeing.
