Free support to help you reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes

The Jersey Diabetes Prevention Programme (JDPP) is a free 9-month programme for Islanders who have been told they are at risk of type 2 diabetes. It is commissioned by Public Health Jersey and delivered by DDM Health specialists in diabetes prevention with over 13 years' experience across the UK.

The programme is based on the NHS National Diabetes Prevention Programme, which has helped hundreds of thousands of people across the UK reduce their risk.

It is not a diet. It is not a lecture. It is practical, personalised support in a format that works for you.

What's involved?

You will be invited to a one-to-one assessment, then supported through 13 sessions over 9 months covering:

Understanding your blood sugar results and what they mean
Eating well, practical advice tailored to your culture and budget
Moving more, at a pace and in a way that suits you
Managing stress, sleep and emotional eating
Building habits that last long after the programme ends

Sessions are delivered by trained health coaches and backed by a specialist clinical team including a dietitian, psychologist and exercise specialist.
