MyDESMOND

MyDESMOND empowers you to confidently self-manage your type 2 diabetes in a way that suits your lifestyle.

  • keeps a track of your HbA1c, blood pressure, cholesterol, weight and waist measurements

  • includes short videos, learning sessions and activities

  • educates by refreshing or updating your knowledge on type 2 diabetes, health, diet and exercise

  • is flexible—work at your own pace

  • is accessible 24/7 via computer, smartphone or tablet

  • allows you to sync a FitBit, Google Fit or Garmin fitness tracker to MyDESMOND.

In order to join the MyDESMOND program you need:
