Support with Type 2 Diabetes
Desmond
Leicester Diabetes Centre, part of the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, launched the MyDESMOND digital health platform in 2018, after years of leading the way in developing and delivering group programmes for people with, or at risk of, type 2 diabetes.
MyDESMOND brings together the content and research evidence from our NICE approved group self-management programmes to a portable interactive web-based platform to support you in managing your health. This means you are getting the same quality of care straight to your digital device when it is convenient to you.
All of our programmes use a variety of different formats, including short videos, articles and interactive activities on topics such as diet and lifestyle for you to view at a time, place and pace that suits you. With our chat forums connecting you instantly to over 65,000 people who have now benefitted from one of our digital health programmes, MyDESMOND really is the place to be to find trusted support for your health.
