Description The Diabetes Weight Management Resource Pack is an A4 ring bound folder especially developed to assist diabetic patients with weight management. The pack includes information such as: understanding diabetes and the need for change; the pros and cons of change; what physical activity can do to benefit; panning diets, calorie intake, goals to reach; insulin regimes along with dealing with corresponding complications; the glycaemia index (GI) and the importance of GI meals; techniques and provisions to control overeating and bingeing; and diary planners along with incentives to carry on with the weight management scheme.
