Diabetes Prevention Week

Diabetes Prevention Week

This Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Week, Diabetes UK are particularly encouraging men aged under 40 to take a quick test to understand their T2D risk.

Alongside Tesco, Diabetes UK launched the Know Your Risk tool in Tesco pharmacies and online in November 2022, but their data shows that half as many men have completed it as women.

Anyone can check their risk score for free online or visit any of the 370 Tesco pharmacies across the UK. Anyone who completes an assessment will be directed to free advice and information on the help and support available to manage their risk. With the right care and support many cases of type 2 diabetes can be prevented or put into remission.

Anyone at high risk of type 2 diabetes, or with a history of gestational diabetes, can ask their GP to refer them for a free place on their local Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme. Those referred to the programme receive tailored, personalised support to reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
