There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. They’re different conditions, caused by different things, but they are both serious and need to be treated and managed properly. Diabetes UK have a helpful video:

    The Diabetes team has been out and about around Gloucestershire during Diabetes Week 2023! They've been sharing information, offering people the chance to find out more about their risk of developing diabetes, and letting them know about the support that is available to reduce that risk.

    This year the team used the NHS Information Bus during Diabetes Week to reach people in Gloucester, Cirencester and Cheltenham, as well as going to Gloucestershire's Big Health Day on Friday, which is an event aimed at helping people with learning disabilities with complex physical and health needs and those with physical and mental ill health needs to stay active and healthy.
