Diabetes Awareness Week 11th - 17th June 2018

By

Diabetes is predicted to become a huge crisis for the future health of the U.K.’s population. It is a health condition that can have a major impact on one’s life and once at an advanced stage, diabetes can cause a host of other health complications. Knowledge of the causes of diabetes is a prerequisite to reducing the risk of becoming a diabetic.
Diabetes afflicts more people in the U.K. than any other serious health condition. There are 4.6 million Type 1 sufferers and an estimated 12.3 million people are potential type 2 diabetics.
2018’s campaign is seeing Diabetes UK try and create further  awareness of the condition and encouraging people to share their experiences of living with diabetes.
