It's Diabetes week!

Managing diabetes doesn't have to feel overwhelming. Small, daily changes can make a massive difference in your energy, health, and future.

Here are 4 simple pillars to help you stay on track:

🥗 Eat Smart: Fill your plate with high-fibre whole grains, vegetables, and pulses. Swap out sugary drinks for water.

🏃‍♂️ Move More: Aim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week. A brisk daily walk counts.

💊 Stay Consistent: Take your prescribed medications exactly as directed by your healthcare team.

🩺 Check In: Keep a close eye on your blood sugar levels to see how your body responds to food and movement.

You don't have to do this alone. Get expert guidance & support using the link below.👇

Type 2 diabetes is rising in women under the age of 40 📈

And our new data released today suggests that ‘missed opportunities’ in postnatal care for women who have gestational diabetes (GDM) is contributing to the rising rates.

That's why this , we’ve written to the Women’s Health Minister, Baroness Merron, to demand urgent improvements to gestational diabetes care.

Our Administration team works hard to keep clinics fully booked and regularly reduce waiting lists. These additional appointments make a real difference.

If you’re unable to attend, that’s absolutely fine but please let us know as early as possible so we can offer the appointment to others. 🙂
