Diabetes Awareness

There are estimated to be more than 4 million people living with type 2 diabetes in the UK, and millions more are at risk of developing the condition. An increasing number of these people are under 40.

It is important to be aware of the risk factors, to identify the symptoms, and to get checked if appropriate.

We have a wide range of resources, including leaflets, to provide help and information on diabetes, understanding diagnosis, and healthy living. 

You can run a real-time search on our library database for a list of resources:

Diabetes Awareness Week runs from 10 – 16 June and it’s an opportunity to raise awareness and shout about the things that matter to people with diabetes and what it’s like to live with day in, day out.

This year is all about the essential health checks you need when you have diabetes.
