Get your free flu jab to help you stay healthy
With flu season just around the corner, it’s vitally important that everyone living with diabetes gets their flu jab as soon as possible. If you’re living with diabetes, you’re more at risk of getting the flu – and if you catch it, it can make your diabetes harder to manage. Getting the flu jab is the best way to protect yourself against the flu and reduce your risk of needing to go into hospital – which is even more important this year in light of coronavirus. It’s completely free for people living with diabetes, and can be booked via your GP or some local pharmacies.

Our research is making remission a reality
You might have seen the headlines last week about the launch of a new NHS low calorie diet programme to help more people put their type 2 diabetes into remission. This wouldn’t have been possible without the research we fund into remission and the results of our groundbreaking DiRECT study. Remission can be truly life-changing, and we’re delighted that, because of our research, it can now be a reality for more people.
