South Asian Group Diabetes Education Delivered In Punjabi and Urdu

We offer face-to-face group sessions, delivered by diabetes educators and an interpreter in Punjabi/Urdu for people who have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in the last 12 months.

This session runs on a Wednesday 10am – 12:30pm, at a community venue close to Bedford Hospital South Wing. The venue has free car parking and disabled access. Participants are welcome to bring a friend or family member. The session is tailored to the South Asian diet. Tea and coffee is available free of charge.

The feedback from those who attend our South Asian sessions is consistently rated as “Very Useful”. Other comments received from patients include:
