This Diabetes Week, we’re supporting efforts to change how we talk about diabetes — and to raise awareness of its long-term impact.

By improving awareness, early diagnosis and management, we can help reduce the number of people progressing to kidney failure and needing transplantation.

New research shows a sharp increase in diagnoses of type 2 diabetes in women under 40, with the concern that pregnant women with gestational diabetes are slipping through the net in post-natal checks.

Diabetes UK chief Colette Marshall talks about the findings.

[Breakthrough T1D UK @BT1DUK]

Sending huge congratulations to our ambassador James Norton, whose London Marathon fundraiser has raised almost £150,000 and counting for Breakthrough T1D. 🌟

We’re incredibly proud of James, who not only conquered his first ever marathon but loudly and powerfully raised vital awareness of type 1 diabetes. In committing to the marathon, James wanted to achieve only one thing: to show young people living with type 1 that it need not limit your potential. He accomplished that and more.

We’re extremely thankful to the Bukhman Foundation for their generous double-match commitment. Thank you to everyone who backed James and #TeamBreakthroughT1D. 💙

If you’d still like to support James, you can donate here: https://t.co/dCisi76PUw
