Awareness campaign
Diabetes is one of the most common long-term conditions in the UK, and many people live with it, or with a high risk of it, without knowing. Our campaign helps your people understand the types of diabetes, recognise the symptoms that are easy to miss, know their risk, and make everyday changes that keep blood sugar in a healthy range. Ideal for World Diabetes Day on 14 November, or at any time of year.
At your premises
Our team runs a friendly, informative stand where your people can drop by, ask questions and pick up practical information about diabetes and blood sugar. Some people have no symptoms at all in the early stages, so the stand is as much for those who feel perfectly well as for anyone with a concern.
Want your people to know their numbers? Combine the campaign with our employee health checks, which include blood sugar alongside blood pressure and cholesterol.
Expert-led webinar
Recorded for World Diabetes Day, this webinar is presented by one of the UK's leading diabetes experts, Professor Ketan Dhatariya: a full-time NHS clinician and Chair of the Joint British Diabetes Societies Inpatient Care Group. It explains the symptoms of diabetes that are easily overlooked, and the dangers of leaving the condition undiagnosed or poorly managed.
Your people can watch it on the stand, or in their own time whenever suits them.
The campaign can also include a live talk, such as Nutrition and Blood Sugar Balance with nutritionist Lissa Leader, or our webinar on the numbers that matter for long-term health:

Dr Simon Hodes, an experienced General Practitioner at Cleveland Clinic London, explains why knowing your key health numbers is so important for protecting long-term wellbeing.
Key messages
Diabetes is a long-term condition in which blood sugar (glucose) levels become too high, because the body does not produce insulin, does not produce enough, or cannot use it effectively.
An autoimmune condition in which the body destroys its insulin-producing cells. Usually diagnosed in children or young adults, and not preventable.
Develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough of it. Often linked to lifestyle, and can be managed.
Occurs during pregnancy, when hormones from the placenta cause insulin resistance and raise blood sugar.
A slow-onset autoimmune diabetes in adults, sharing traits with types 1 and 2. Often misdiagnosed, and typically needs insulin.
Anyone who notices any of these should speak to their GP:
Some people have no symptoms at all, especially in the early stages.
