Thriving with Type 2 Diabetes, by Mayo Clinic

Take control of your health and manage type 2 diabetes with confidence. Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, or you’re looking to improve your current management, this evidence-based programme in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, gives you the knowledge and practical tools to make meaningful, lasting changes. Type 2 diabetes is not a life sentence. For many people, it is a condition that can be improved and, in some cases, put into remission. This course is built on the understanding that education empowers people to act. When individuals understand what is happening in their bodies and why certain changes matter, they are more likely to make meaningful, lasting changes that can transform their health and quality of life. Led by Tara Schmidt, M.Ed., RDN, LD, a registered dietitian at Mayo Clinic, you’ll learn how food affects your blood sugar, discover which choices support your health across all food groups, and master the diabetes plate method for building balanced meals your whole family can enjoy. You’ll understand how exercise improves insulin sensitivity, explore research-backed weight management strategies, and learn how to dine out while maintaining steady blood sugar control. Through clear guidance and real patient experiences, you’ll build confidence in managing your condition and may even reduce or eliminate your need for medication over time. The programme covers essential foundations including carbohydrate awareness, building a supportive environment, and preventing long-term complications. This course meets you exactly where you are and equips you with sustainable strategies for living well with diabetes. Your health deserves this investment, and we’ll show you how to make changes that truly last.
