Fitbit Diabetes Support Group

 

What does Frome Medical Practice offer?

Our Fitbit Diabetes Support Group is designed by our clinicians to help you manage your diabetes more effectively. Over the course of five sessions Jo Fordham, a Health Connector, will guide you through an exciting new way of managing diabetes through wearable technology.

As part of the program, you’ll receive a free Fitbit, an easy-to-use activity tracker that helps you monitor your physical activity, sleep, and overall health. This Fitbit is generously donated by MyWay Diabetes, a trusted partner recommended by the NHS.

We’ll also introduce you to the MyWay Diabetes website and app. MyWay Diabetes gives you a simple way to view your Fitbit data alongside your diabetes test results. You can track your progress, understand how your daily habits are affecting your diabetes, and take more control of your health.

  

What will I gain from the Fitbit Diabetes Support Group?

By joining this exciting opportunity, you'll unlock new ways to thrive with diabetes. You’ll also: 

  • Get a free Fitbit to track and boost your health.
  • Discover new ways to manage diabetes using the latest technology.
  • Join a supportive network of others on the same journey.
