With Easter just around the corner, you might be wondering whether a diabetic chocolate egg is a better option than standard chocolate.

As with all food-focused celebrations, you may be wondering if it's possible to manage diabetes well and enjoy the holiday too. We’ve pulled together our tips for a enjoying a healthier Easter for you.
If you’re wondering whether you can still enjoy chocolate, or how many seasonal treats to indulge in, hop over to our website to find the answers to your Easter questions, and some of our favourite seasonal recipes. 🐰

1 in 9 adults live with pre-diabetes
New research has found that 30% of people living with type 2 diabetes in England are undiagnosed while 1 in 9 adults are living with pre-diabetes. The research found that people typically considered to be low risk could be living with pre-diabetes, and that younger adults living with type 2 are more likely to be undiagnosed. These findings are a reminder that everyone, not just those considered to be high risk, needs to be aware of the signs of type 2 diabetes.
