Diabetes UK Healthy Lifestyle Roadshow
It is estimated 850,000 people in the UK have Type 2 diabetes but do not know it.
If left untreated, diabetes can lead to devastating
complications such as stroke, heart disease, kidney failure, amputation and blindness.
Could your community or workforce be at risk?
Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in
people of working age.
Diabetes costs the NHS £1million an hour.
By the time they are diagnosed, half of people with Type 2 diabetes are already
showing signs of complications.
That’s why awareness and prevention are so important.
