We still don't fully understand what causes #Type1diabetes . Scientists think our genes, viruses & gut bacteria could all be likely culprits that add to our risk. Here we sum up what we know so far about the complex picture behind Type 1: #ResearchFriday

We’re really happy to see the issue of mental health care for people with diabetes brought up in Parliament today - thank you so much to everyone who has helped us highlight the urgent need for better emotional support for those who need it.

Diabetics are 2x as likely to experience depression. 1 in 3 Covid 19 deaths are linked to people with diabetes. How can the govt. help to ensure that those with the condition receive comprehensive check-ups, inc. screening & support for mental health issues? @DiabetesUK #diabetes

There’s more than one type of diabetes. We know that, but lots of people don’t. Share this so more know the facts.

"It never goes away. It's relentless. Every choice I make, the food I eat, the pace I walk, even the weather is going to affect me." Watch our video to find out what happened when we asked five people living with diabetes to film their everyday lives. #ItsMissing
