A friendly session for people aged 65+ on insulin resistance, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, with free tea and coffee.

On behalf of your GP practice, Celandine Health and Metrocare PCN warmly invite you to our Coffee Morning, part of our Metabolic Health Series.

This month's session is all about blood sugar, and it comes in two friendly parts:

Part 1: Evolution's Glitch or Modern Mayhem?

Why insulin resistance develops, and how food and movement can help.

Part 2: One Step Ahead

Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes: HbA1c tests, health reviews and next steps.

You will find out:

- Why your body can stop listening to insulin

- What prediabetes means, and why it is a warning, not a verdict

- How blood sugar is checked, and what the HbA1c test tells us

- Simple food and movement changes that really help

- What to expect at your diabetes or metabolic review

Enjoy a free cup of tea or coffee, meet others in your community and ask our clinicians your questions in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
