is estimated that the number of people living with diabetes will rise to 535
million. Over the last two years it has led to the deaths of between 1.5 and
5.1 million people world-wide. Diabetes UK is the UK’s leading diabetes charity
and aims to care for, connect with and campaign on behalf of all people
affected by and at risk of diabetes; reaching people with diabetes in local
communities across the UK. This year
