Researcher working in a lab
Our research into avoiding serious long-term illness in type 2 diabetes

Over the last four years, we've teamed up with the British Heart Foundation to commit almost £700,000 to research into avoiding serious long-term illness in people with type 2 diabetes. This work will help us find better ways to treat type 2 diabetes and avoid complications. It'll also provide important insight into how we can make type 2 diabetes treatments more personalised, and how we can use existing measurements to catch complications early. Visit our website to read more about the project and our aims for the future.

Each class will allow you to try a new gentle activity, and is designed for people living with diabetes who are currently doing less than 30 minutes of movement a week.

Blood vials
Blood vial shortages and what this means for you

 NHS England and NHS Wales have reported a shortage of blood collection tubes due to a global shortage which is expected to last until mid-September. As a result, GP services have temporarily stopped all non-urgent blood tests, and hospitals have tight restrictions on the blood tests they can do. Visit our website to learn what this means for you and find further information and advice.
