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

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.
