Hi everyone, just wanted to ask for peoples opinions on whether they think a video sent into schools along with posters and flyers raiseing awarness about type 2 diabetes with advice on healthy living choices and the benefits of exercise to combat tpye2 diabetes would be a good idea?
 
Depends on what the "healthy living choices" are and what advice is given. But do you really expect the majority of teenagers to take any notice of a video raising awareness of Type 2 when so few have it? It would be far more use surely to encourage places of work to start doing that and maybe offering OGTT for employees to start identifying those at risk sooner? Maybe start with the NHS?
 
Sorry didn't make myself clear enough I was thinking of aiming it at 8-10 year olds to try to instill good habits at an influential time of theirlives

I think it would best to promote healthy living as opposed to demoting type 2
