Understanding Type 1 Diabetes
This course is designed to help you understand type 1 diabetes. We cover the essentials—diagnosis, treatment options, and how insulin works. We also explore potential complications and how they affect the body, alongside everyday topics like travel and lifestyle choices. Live Q&A sessions with healthcare professionals are included to support your learning and give you the chance to ask questions.
Understanding Type 2 Diabetes
This course covers the basics of type 2 diabetes, including diagnosis, treatment options, and how some people may be able to put the condition into remission. You'll learn about the importance of managing blood glucose, setting treatment goals, and being aware of long-term health concerns. We also offer information in the course tailored to reflect the experiences of different ethnic communities living with type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes and Technology
This course will help you learn how to use technology to manage type 1 diabetes. We'll look at continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump therapy, including how to use sensors, interpret data, calculate insulin doses, and factor in your lifestyle. We'll also cover more advanced options like hybrid closed-loop systems and smart pens. Throughout the course, you can join live Q&A sessions on Zoom with diabetes experts who’ll lead discussions and answer your questions.
Diabetes and Ramadan
Our Diabetes and Ramadan course is designed for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who want to manage their condition safely during Ramadan. It’s available in English, Arabic, and Malay. The course covers how to assess whether it’s safe for you to fast, the potential risks for people with diabetes, guidance on what to eat for Suhoor and Iftar, how to manage physical activity, and when and how to adjust medications. You can also join live Q&A sessions on Zoom with diabetes experts in your preferred language.
Here’s what some people who’ve completed our courses had to say:
“I found the charts and illustrations useful and have downloaded these for quick reference.”

“I have had diabetes for 12 years now and became quite complacent about it. It was very good to take the refresher course. Everyone should do it.”

“Hearing the stories of others and having access to doctors in the live sessions was the most valuable part of the course for me.”

“The questions after each section really helped in ensuring that I understood what I had read. When not getting a question right, the correct answer came up and made me go over the points again. Also, the short film clips were very good. Gave me a better understanding of my diabetes type 2.”

“I have had Type 1 Diabetes for over 40 years and although I think I generally manage it well, I'm aware that at times I can fall into patterns of behaviour without considering other options. The course was an excellent reminder of all the important issues and prompted me to try specific changes such as injecting 15-30 mins before, rather than directly before I eat.”

“I chose this course as I am interested in pump therapy but at present use a pen and multiple daily doses, so I have gained an initial insight into pump therapy. I very much liked hearing from people with Type1 as it helped me feel connected.”
