Patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes may be referred by their GP surgery to the DESMOND service. DESMOND is the collaborative name for a family of group self-management education modules, toolkits and care pathways for people with, or at risk of, Type 2 diabetes. It is geared towards providing information and support to help manage diabetes and the changes that it will bring to the patient’s life. It also allows patient’s the opportunity to meet and share their experiences with others.
