Diabetes

There are about 2.5 million people in this country with diabetes - but only 60% of these people are aware they have it!

In recent years there has been a significant increase in the occurrence of Type 2 diabetes in both adults and more alarmingly in children. This has been directly linked to obesity and lack of exercise. Diabetes eventually causes problems to the major organs of the body and can lead to serious illness such as heart disease, kidney disease, blindness and limb amputation.

A quick and simple test can determine whether you are diabetic. The test requires a small pinprick of blood, which is placed on a test strip. The results are available in less than 1 minute.
