🔷 It’s Diabetes Week (9–15 June 2025)

🌍 Did you know?
More than 1 in 10 adults around the world now live with diabetes.
That’s over 800 million people, more than the population of Europe.

And what’s more alarming?
A massive portion of them don’t even know they have it.
💡 In the UK alone, more than 1.3 million people are unknowingly living with undiagnosed diabetes , quietly risking serious complications like heart disease, kidney damage, or even vision loss.
Diabetes is now linked to one-third of all heart-related deaths in England.

But here’s the thing:
👉 Diabetes isn’t just about sugar.
It’s about how we live.
It’s connected to the food we eat, the way we move (or don’t), our stress, our sleep, and our access to healthcare.
📌 And it isn’t just a personal issue. It’s a workplace issue too.
Lost productivity, missed diagnoses, hidden fatigue, diabetes affects your colleagues more than you think.

So during Diabetes Week 2025, let’s take this moment to:
✅ Get informed — even 10 minutes of reading could help you spot early signs in yourself or someone else.
✅ Book a screening — especially if you're over 40, have a family history, or haven’t had your blood sugar checked in the last year.

🗣️ Whether you're managing diabetes yourself or know someone who is, you are not alone.
This week, let’s raise awareness. But more than that, let’s raise our standard of care, empathy, and knowledge.
