Diabetes Awareness and Blood Glucose Monitoring & Glucometer Training, throughout 2024
We recently commissioned DUET diabetes Ltd to provide face-to-face ‘Diabetes Awareness & Blood Glucose Monitoring’ training for social care providers in Suffolk. From start to finish, Lynne and her team were professional, knowledgeable, and approachable.
The training sessions were highly engaging and tailored to meet the specific needs of the care home staff. Lynne and her team’s expertise and passion for diabetes care were evident throughout, and the practical elements of the course gave our teams the confidence to apply what they had learned immediately.
Feedback from the delegates has been overwhelmingly positive. The feedback showed delegates felt better equipped to support residents with diabetes effectively after attending the workshop.
We would highly recommend DUET diabetes Ltd to any health or social care organisation seeking top-quality, practical training in diabetes management.

Diabetic Foot Screening workshop, 10 January 2025
I've just got back from the diabetes foot course today in Birmingham and despite the pretty awful driving conditions, it was really worth attending.
Just wanted to say a big thank you to you for organising it Lynne and another thank you to Gareth for an informative yet relaxed training day. I've already now arranged a meeting with my clinic colleague to go through some takeaways from the course and ideas on how we can improve our service for diabetic patients.

Diabetic Foot Screening workshop, November 2024
I very much enjoyed the training - the course information was delivered in a way that was interesting and professional and the supporting materials were first rate, and Gareth was a great lecturer.
I have since carried out a number of diabetic foot checks and discovered a need for educating my diabetic patients - who are very willing. I feel confident now, where I just wasn't before.
Thanks again for your professional services, one of the best courses I have been on for a long while.

Insulin Awareness & Injection Technique workshop, October 2024
Up to date information.. Learnt new information regarding safety needles. Details of ketones was beneficial as it’s a bit of a new area for me but so vital. Trainers were lovely. We all could ask questions and feel comfortable sharing. The venue was well suited for our session. This is a topic I have a personal interest in but it also helps support our training we give to carers

Yesterday's workshop was invaluable for anyone involved in caring for the feet of patients with diabetes. The presentations were delivered by an expert in his field and were clear and accessible whilst being informative, thorough, and underpinned by the latest research and guidance. The demonstrations were extremely clear and the resource pack we were provided with was second to none. There were also lots of opportunities to ask questions
I would travel a long way to attend another workshop run by DUET diabetes and will definitely be recommending this training to colleagues.

Deputy Manager, Oakwood House
Norfolk & Waveney Integrated Care Board commissioned bespoke diabetes training programme
(for healthcare assistants and trainee nurse associates working in Primary Care)
It wasn’t an easy task collating training sessions for 5 geographical areas across Norfolk and Waveney, but the feedback from those that attended the training has made it a great project to work on. I attended some of the sessions to answer any localised questions and take points away to enhance the personal development side, and it was great to see how engaging the sessions were.
I have had numerous people who attended the sessions come to me asking if we can get some more set up for their colleagues, which we are really hoping to implement. We are excited to see the positive impacts we hope this training will have on people living with diabetes. Thanks so much to the DUET team for working with us.

Diabetic Foot Screening, September 2023
(part of a bespoke diabetes training programme commissioned by Norfolk & Waveney ICB)
I attended the above course as a health care assistant who had started this role in February 2023.
I did not know what to expect. I would highly recommend this course to all staff dealing with Diabetes. The course lecturers were informative, friendly, and made the course so understandable, not only about the types of diabetes but also why we carry out the checks that we do.
I have to say this was one of the most interesting courses I have ever attended. Not once did my mind wander to other things. It was a lovely small group and we all engaged in the activities, as well as ask and answer questions.
I just hope that they can get more funding so more staff members can benefit from the knowledge of the lovely lecturers. Sam Chapman Healthcare Assistant, Primary Care

Diabetes training programme for Hallmark Care Homes
Lynne and the Duet team delivered a programme of training across the whole Hallmark group, engaging our Registered Nurses, senior carers and care assistants. The feedback we had from team was phenomenal, team reported increased awareness and confidence levels with many saying the training equipped them to better advocate for residents and to better support residents to manage their diabetes. A number of the team reported taking the learning into their personal lives and now better understand their own condition or can better support loved-ones who are living with diabetes. As a direct result of the foot care training provided during the sessions, we have implemented the risk examination of the diabetic foot tool which was provided as part of the training. This has meant our team now have an evidence based tool which enables them to easily identify when a resident may be at risk diabetic foot ulcers.

Workshop was great. I’ve confidence in flagging issues and communicating with my clients what their next step should be…it could save a person’s limb or life.

Diabetic Foot Awareness for Beauty and Wellness Therapists webinar workshop, April 2022
Thank you so much, I absolutely loved doing the course and learnt so much. The information was clear, relevant to my business and interesting. And all questions were answered so thoroughly - it was brilliant.
I feel that all beauticians/nail techs should have this information. I’d highly recommend and I’ve learnt so much with a lot of opportunity to know where to look for even more information.
Tanya Jeskins

Diabetic Foot Awareness for Beauty and Wellness Therapists webinar workshop, April 2022
Duet Diabetes Foot Awareness is essential for any nail pro interested in or already offering pedicures. I felt the workshop catered to all learning styles and was paced really well. I certainly got a lot out of the course. It’s given me confidence in dealing with any clients that may be diabetic with more in depth knowledge. There was also a chance to ask direct questions to the instructors which was helpful. The instructors were professional, patient and passionate. Wonderful!
Tabby Casto
Makeup Artist and Manicurist
Diabetic Foot Awareness for Beauty and Wellness Therapists webinar workshop, April 2022
It was so interesting. I think this should form part of the whole pedicure training courses. It should be mandatory. I took this course in order to get the next answers from asking about existing illnesses like diabetes otherwise doing a pedicure and asking about history is worthless if you can’t be aware of what to look for.
Both yourself and Gareth were professional and very easy to listen to and learn. How you translated the information was outstanding.
Insulin Awareness/Update & Injection Technique webinar workshop, September 2021
This has really improved my knowledge on diabetes care. Most importantly, this course has enhanced my insulin Awareness and administration skills.

Diabetic Foot Screening webinar workshop, May 2021
Very informative in a relaxed forum. Comprehensive coverage. I have experience of examining feet of elderly who may or may not be diabetic; this study session has reinforced existing knowledge and developed further on what to look for, how to perform a comprehensive assessment and what to do with findings. Really enjoyed the session and very grateful for additional videos to review

Diabetes Awareness and Blood Glucose Monitoring & Glucometer Training webinar workshop, April 2021
Myself and my colleague recently attended the ‘diabetes awareness and blood glucose monitoring & glucometer training’. There is only one word that I can describe this training as – FANTASTIC. With the knowledge of the trainers, we learnt more than we ever have regarding diabetes training and my colleague has been in care for over 20 years! The trainers were able to answer any questions we needed answering and sign posted us to the relevant information to provide the best care we can for those living with diabetes. I would highly recommend this training to anyone.

Managing Diabetes in the Acutely Unwell Older Person webinar workshop, February 2021
It was all relevant and particularly useful was the information about DKA and HHS and what causes blood glucose to go up or down. It has brought to my attention the key differences between caring for someone who is older and has frailty opposed to other age groups.
CH
Registered Nurse
Attended Ankle Brachial Pressure Index Assessment webinar workshop, February 2021
Working on my own in clinic confidence can waver, this was like a friend explaining each point in clear, simple details, with pictures and video of procedures. Very easy to follow and so it has instilled confidence, so much so I have just placed an order for the Huntleigh Kit. I appreciate the level of interpretation having the picture of the waveforms can give now and allow me to make informed decision of what I'm hearing. I often write to GPs with my findings, this tutorial has given me confidence. Thank you. I already have been on raving about the workshop to others who may be even more nervous than I was.
Anne Melville
Podiatrist
Diabetic Foot Awareness for Beauty & Wellness Therapists webinar workshop, February 2021
Gaining a really good understanding of how to perform a thorough foot examination with confidence and how to advise my clients with my gained knowledge. I felt very assured Gemma was so highly trained and has exemplary expertise, I learnt so much from her today! Just brilliant thank you so much! I most certainly will display my certificate of participation and promote this workshop to anyone that works as a pedicurist to attend this valuable training!
Louise
Pedicurist
Attended Ankle Brachial Pressure Index Assessment webinar workshop, February 2021
All of it was useful, watching the videos were a big help to understanding protocol for ABPI as were the practical elements of working out the results. For me personally, it ticked all the boxes of what I needed. For colleagues such as myself, who work in independent practice and often alone this is a great workshop to get that confidence back.
Amanda Scott-Barker
Podiatrist, Amanda Scott Podiatry Clinic
Attended Diabetic Foot Screening webinar workshop, January 2021
It gave me the confidence to do a clear concise referral which was what I found myself doing only the following day! So thank you. I was able to assess the situation, and confidently describe my findings to a GP thus ensuring my patient had the care he so badly needed. I thought Gemma was a lovely, easy going lecturer. And Lynn had orchestrated the whole thing beautifully. I was able to access all the necessary material I needed prior to the workshop in preparation.
