According to Diabetes UK, there are more than 4.4 million people in the UK living with diabetes. Additionally, 1.2 million people could be living with type 2 diabetes who are yet to be diagnosed. Check the “Diabetes is Serious Report” to get a glimpse of the latest Diabetes Statistics.
These figures are at an all-time high, which means it’s time to get serious about Diabetes. The Diabetes week is an opportunity to spread awareness about the things that matter about Diabetes and get more people involved in spreading the word.
This year, Diabetes UK is asking people to talk about the health check-ups needed when you have diabetes. Click here to learn more about the right Diabetes health checks and Diabetes Care.
