We are running a focus group on Prediabetes and are looking for 10 people to take part, mainly aged between 40 and 65.
Day – Thursday 23rd October
Time – 12:30 to 2:30pm
Location – Volunteer Hut, Hartcliffe City Farm, Lampton Avenue, BS13 0QH
The group will cover existing knowledge of prediabetes, lived experience, what support people have had to date, and for example, what they feel has or would make a difference to their health in relation to prediabetes.
Participants can have a free coffee / veg grown on the farm in exchange for taking part.
If you are interested, or know anyone who is, contact:

Major risk factors for prediabetes include overweight and obesity, older age (45 years and older), genetic predisposition, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, socioeconomic deprivation, and having current or previous conditions (eg, metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease or gestational diabetes). Race and ethnicity are also contributing factors, with Asian, Black, and Hispanic adults at higher risk of prediabetes than White adults.
