Time is allocated during the programme for problem solving, feedback on diabetes self management behaviours and goal setting.

The programme is facilitated by Pauline Dunne, Senior Dietitian and consists of 4 sessions of 2 hour duration.  The first 3 sessions take place over 3 consecutive weeks @in St Mary’s Health Centre, Parnell Street, Thurles, Co Tipperary

Topics covered in CODE include diabetes explained, risk factors, signs and symptoms, healthy eating, physical activity, personal goal setting, complications and the necessity of regular follow up and the importance of optimal diabetes control.
