Introduction: A Growing Health Concern
Diabetes is a lifelong condition that causes a person’s blood glucose (sugar) level to become too high. It is one of the UK’s most prevalent long-term health conditions, affecting around 4.3 million people diagnosed in England alone, with an estimated 850,000 more undiagnosed.
It can lead to serious health complications if not managed effectively, including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, vision loss, and limb amputations. But with the right knowledge, many of these outcomes can be prevented.
