Nikki Pepper, diabetes prevention project officer in Lincolnshire, said: “The programme provides personalised help to reduce your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes through improved food choices, weight loss and personal exercise programmes. Your GP practice is able to refer you to the programme if your blood sugar reading is within the eligible range.”
