4.3m people in UK live with diabetes* Our Wellbeing Boost subscription will offer blood sugar testing to help identify potential risk.

*The latest figures by Diabetes UK confirm that 4.3 million people in the UK, are living with diagnosed diabetes.

This is an increase of circa 150,000 from the previous year (2021/22 v 2020/21).

Furthermore, circa 850,000 people are estimated to be living with diabetes but have yet to be diagnosed.

Without the right care and support, people with all types of diabetes can be at risk of developing serious complications. Every week, diabetes leads to 184 amputations, more than 770 strokes, 590 heart attacks and 2,300 cases of heart failure.??

There is concern that the high numbers of people living with overweight or obesity across the UK – currently 64% of adults in England – is translating into an increase in cases of type 2. ?

Social deprivation is also an issue. Factors such as income, education, housing, access to healthy food, as well as poorer access to healthcare, have been shown to be strongly linked to an increased risk of developing several health conditions – including obesity and type 2 diabetes.??? ?

Alarmingly, type 2 diabetes is becoming increasingly common among those under the age of 40 and it is more prevalent in areas where there are higher levels of deprivation. While numbers of under 40s with type 2 diabetes remain a small proportion of total cases, it is known to have more severe and acute effects on younger people.???? ?

Being aware of the signs and symptoms of diabetes is important. They include the 4Ts of:?

• Toilet (going for a wee a lot, especially at night)?
• Thirsty (being really thirsty)?
• Tired (feeling more tired than usual)?
• Thinner (losing weight without trying)

Our subscription will help provide the education, guidance and support, that many people have not received in their lives or who have simply felt uncomfortable taking the necessary steps to see their GP (men in particular).

It's never too late to change your lifestyle and improve the quality of your life and it won't be the cost of the subscription, it will be the cost of doing nothing.

Have a great day.
