🟢🌟 STAFF SPOTLIGHT - Meet Lorraine! 🌟

This week we're shining a spotlight on Lorraine, one of our Healthy Lifestyles team, who keeps busy co-ordinating a fantastic range of programmes to support healthier lives across our community.

One of the programmes particularly close to Lorraine's heart is our NHIP Pre-Diabetes Programme, delivered as part of a wider partnership between community organisations across Derry and Strabane, with support from the Neighbourhood Health Improvement Project (NHIP), run by the Western Health and Social Care Trust (WHSCT).

The NHIP Pre-Diabetes Programme has been shortlisted for the WHSCT Davin Corrigan Award, recognising it as a model of good practice in partnership working.🎉 The awards ceremony takes place later this month, so we're keeping everything crossed! 🤞

But there's more to Lorraine than healthy lifestyles and programme co-ordinating! Back in the day, she was a champion disco dancer, and she still loves getting out on the dancefloor and busting a few moves on a night out! 🕺💃

Thanks, Lorraine, for all the energy, enthusiasm and dedication you bring to the team and the community. ❤️

(Referral's for the Pre-Diabetes come through the Western Trust)

🟢 World Diabetes Day – Know the 4 Ts 🔵

With World Diabetes Day coming up on 14 November, we're sharing another post to raise awareness, highlight important information and shine a light on the work happening in our community around diabetes prevention and support.

Today's post focuses on the 4 Ts of Type 1 Diabetes – important warning signs to be aware of:

💧 Toilet – Going to the toilet more often
🥤 Thirsty – Being constantly thirsty
😴 Tired – Feeling more tired than usual
⚖️ Thinner – Losing weight without trying

Recognising these signs early can be life-saving. If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, seek urgent medical advice.

Keep an eye on our page over the coming days as we continue to mark World Diabetes Day and celebrate the work taking place locally to support people living with, and at risk of, diabetes.

🟢 It's Sugar Awareness Week! (2nd–8th November)🍬

Did you know that adults should aim for no more than 30g (around 7 teaspoons) of free sugars each day?

Sugar can be hiding in everyday foods and drinks, sometimes where we least expect it! This week, we're encouraging everyone to check food labels, make simple swaps and think about their daily sugar intake.

Remember, small changes can make a big difference to your health and wellbeing.🍎

To learn more and pick up some practical tips, watch this short Sugar Awareness video on Western Health and Social Care Trust YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADVwrUl8LoQ
