The diabetes team at Dorset County Hospital is inviting people to join a new cycling group.
The exercise group, which is being set up with the West Dorset Diabetes UK group, is open to anyone; but there is an emphasis on people with diabetes.
DCH Diabetes Dietitian Sandra Hood said: “Exercise is important for good health and well-being and this is especially true for people with diabetes. There is always a psychological challenge in starting and maintaining new healthy habits. Having to worry about blood sugar levels just adds to the challenge in people with diabetes.
“The purpose of the cycling group is to help people start a regular exercise habit. This includes a social aspect, as well as making sure that the level of activity is gentle enough for complete beginners.”
