Diabetes week 10-16th June
Over 3.7 million people in the UK are living with diabetes, and there are a further 7 million people at high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes UK aims to raise awareness about the condition with Diabetes Week, running from the 10th-16th June.
Many people contact Slimming World to ask if Food Optimising will fit in with their diabetes – the answer is a resounding YES! Not only will it fit around the condition – many members tell us that it has helped control it.
Because Food Optimising is extremely generous and flexible, and puts you in control of the foods you eat and when you eat them, it is easy to fit in with any personal advice on diet that your diabetes care team gives you. Taking insulin or other medication doesn't need to be a barrier to losing weight; our research shows that Slimming World members with diabetes lose weight as successfully as other members.
