Our latest research breakthrough
|
|
Have you heard? Our research has revealed that signs of being at high risk of Type 2 diabetes can be spotted in children as young as eight years old, often decades before a diagnosis. This could help scientists to develop new preventative treatments that start much earlier in life. Check out our blog to learn all about our latest breakthrough and how this could help us fight diabetes.

Get support for diabetes burnout
|
|
“Sometimes, you just need some comfort. Some motivating words saying you’ve done well, to let you know that it’s not an easy ride, and you can do it." After Sara's Type 2 diagnosis, she struggled with diabetes burnout. When there's so much information but little support, it can be hard to know where to start. If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone. And we’ve got lots of tips that can help.

Managing exercise and diabetes
|
|
“Set yourself a small goal and have a long-term vision. Five minutes carrying stuff up and down the stairs can be included in your exercise.” Sarah isn't a fan of traditional exercise but found simple ways to fit more physical activity into her daily life. Because exercise doesn't just mean hitting the gym.
