According to Diabetes UK, 4.3 million people in the UK live with diabetes. Additionally, 850,000 people could be living with diabetes who are yet to be diagnosed.
While diabetes is a chronic condition which impacts the entire body, the condition is manageable once diagnosed.
According to the NHS, there are no lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk of type 1 diabetes. However, you can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes through healthy eating, regular exercise and achieving a healthy body weight.
