14th
June – 20th June 2015
By
2035 it 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
Diabetes Awareness Week falls between the 14th and 20th
June, its goal is to raise awareness of the disease among the population of the
UK in order to prevent its increase.
