How long do I have to complete the program?
The program is designed for weekly visits to optimise your diabetes control as soon as possible.
We understand that sometimes people get sick or are unable to attend their planned visit. In such an event please provide at least 24 hours notice to avoid forfeiting a session.
The program automatically terminates after six months if for some reason you have not completed your sessions. Please ensure you obtain the full value by attending all sessions within this time period.
