Get Moving with Diabetes UK 

If you’re living with diabetes and finding it hard to get active in your day-to-day life, Diabetes UK are here to help. They understand that it can be difficult to find the motivation to move more, and that sometimes it can be hard to know where to begin - especially if you’re new to exercise.  

So, starting in September, their Physical Activity Coordinators will be running free 10 week courses specifically tailored to support people who are currently doing less than 30 minutes of exercise a week. 

From boxercise to Tai chi to movement to music, each weekly class will focus on a different gentle activity - giving you the chance to try out new ways to get active and find what suits you. Plus, we’ll be holding Q&A sessions at the end of each class, so that you can find out more about managing your condition and get tips and advice from our clinical experts and guest speakers. 

And because you’ll be part of the same group throughout the entire 10 weeks, you’ll also get the chance to meet and chat to other participants who all have the same goal - to move more and live well with diabetes.
