Looking after your heart health

We’re excited to share that we’ve been shortlisted to be the National Charity Partner of Royal Mail and Parcelforce Worldwide. And if we’re successful, we’ll be working together to support millions of people to reduce their risk of both type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

But we need your help to make this happen.

Be sure to book your booster

The arrival of cooler days can mean only one thing – it’s time to get your autumn coronavirus booster. Anyone in England over the age of 5 who is living with or caring for someone with diabetes can book their booster through the NHS website. In other parts of the UK, you’ll be contacted and invited to book your booster.

Understanding your risk

Our free understanding your risk booklet is here to help you to understand the different risk factors for type 2 diabetes and give you practical advice and tips on what you can do to reduce your risk. We've got information about diet, physical activity and weight that can help you to reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes.

of the way type 2 disproportionately affects young people in developing countries.
