Diabetes Care Services
According to Diabetes UK, more than three million people in the UK have been diagnosed with Diabetes.
Many more people may also have the condition but are undiagnosed.
What is a Diabetes?
Diabetes is a long term condition that can affect people of all races, ages and genders.
Diabetes is caused when glucose builds up in the bloodstream because the pancreas does not produce enough, or any, insulin, or because the insulin is not working properly.
Left untreated, Diabetes can lead to heart disease, stroke, nerve damage and blindness.
