New from Diabetes UK

Diabetes UK has recently launched a new DVD targeted specifically for Black African Caribbean community; to improve the knowledge, understanding and management of diabetes within this community and promote an improved quality of life.

Over 2 million people in the UK have diabetes. If you are not a person with diabetes yourself, you probably know someone who is. Diabetes is 4-5 times more common in the African Caribbean community than the general population.

The aim of the DVD is to offer advice about:

Insight into the different types of Diabetes
Signs and symptoms of Diabetes
Management of diabetes, including diet and exercise
Insight into attending an annual review
The risks of smoking and drinking alcohol with Diabetes
Living with Diabetes
