NHS Wales empowers public with free diabetes prevention and management apps

June 20th 2025

Three powerful apps are now available to tackle Wales' growing diabetes challenge – complementing successful face-to-face programme that has already helped more than 10,000 people. 

Anyone in Wales can download the apps at no cost by completing a simple online request form: 

• MyDESMOND Wales - for people with a Type 2 diagnosis 

• Let's Prevent Wales - for people who are pre-diabetic 

• Baby Steps - for people who have gestational diabetes 

You'll need your NHS number, which can be found on the NHS Wales app, any recent prescription, appointment letter or by asking your GP practice.
