What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is when the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood is to high because the body cannot use it properly.  

There are two types of Diabetes:

Type 1 Diabetes

This usually develops before the age of 40

Type 2 Diabetes (Non Insulin Dependent)

This usually occurs in the over 40’s (or over 25’s for people of south Asian or Afro-Caribbean origin). Afro-Caribbean and Asian people are up to six times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, than people from other ethnic groups. Diabetes can be controlled by diet, exercise, tablet and insulin injections.

Diabetes is a common condition and if left untreated can cause long term damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and major arteries.  If you feel you may be at risk of diabetes this simple home test may be advisable.
