The Nutrition for Diabetes course has been created by industry experts and is essential viewing for every health and fitness professional.
Once upon a time diabetes was a rare condition that happened to an unfortunate few. Now it is fast becoming the norm. There are an estimated 3.5 million people living with diabetes in the UK and a further 1 million who are thought to have undiagnosed diabetes. By 2040 it is expected that diabetes will affect 1 in 10 of us.
This means that a significant proportion of the clients you see could be suffering from diagnosed or undiagnosed diabetes plus many more will be at risk of developing the condition. As a health and fitness professional you are uniquely positioned to help these clients. This course will give you the knowledge and skills to do just that.
90% of those with diabetes have Type 2 diabetes, which is a preventable condition. Obesity is the most potent risk factor for Type 2 diabetes accounting for 80–85 per cent of the overall risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. For this reason supporting your clients to be more active and eat healthier has the potential to make a massive difference in their lives, whether they are already suffering from diabetes or at risk of developing it.
This 1 hour video course will provide you with an understanding of the different types of diabetes, along with their causes and symptoms and treatment. There will be particular focus on the prevention and management of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
The course is presented by nutrition and fitness expert Heather Oakes who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience.

The Pilates Matwork course was detailed, practical and challenging. The course content was delivered in a variety of ways i.e. online learning and face-to-face suiting learning styles. Scott and his team were very helpful at the end of the phone/online. I was lucky enough to walk straight into a Pilates teaching job as soon as I qualified. Thank-you FutureFit!

Future Fit training programme was very straight forward, but I felt I was missing out by not having any hands-on experience with an actual coach/tutor. A lot of my marks were lower than they could have been due to not fully understanding the subject or item as well as I should, but not having a quick reference point available to verify anything was a drawback.
