Are you at risk of developing type 2 diabetes? Next week is Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Week (25-31 May). Check your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, by using the Diabetes UK Know Your Risk tool. You can reduce your risk by eating a healthy, balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight and keeping physically active. People living with diabetes face a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, nerve damage, foot problems, vision loss and kidney problems. Some groups are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, including people of South Asian or Black ethnicity, people who are overweight or living with obesity, people with a family history of type 2 diabetes and women with a history of gestational diabetes.

It's World Immunization Week!

Vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives since 1974 — not by accident, but because ordinary people made the decision to protect themselves, their children and one another.

That’s 6 lives every minute, every day, for more than 5 decades. Vaccines work!

Your decision makes a difference. Get vaccinated.
