Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Week is taking place from Monday 20th May to Sunday 26th May this year. Diabetes UK joins NHS England as proud campaign partners for this annual awareness week.

Unhealthy food that’s cheaper than fresh fruit and veg. Nowhere to exercise  and being bombarded with junk food ads everywhere you turn. Nobody chooses this. But these environments put people at higher risk of type 2 diabetes. And increase their chances of life-changing complications. 

This Prevention Week we want to shift the focus away from individual responsibility and call on the government to take action to help more people reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, creating a healthier future for everyone.
