Diabetes

Diabetes has reached epidemic proportions in the UK and is still increasing due to unhealthy eating habits, being overweight and lack of exercise. Diabetes does not start suddenly but creeps on gradually, passing through the stage of Metabolic Syndrome which may effect up to a quarter of the UK population, where changes to your basic metabolism are happening, and damage to your body is already occurring. Full blown diabetes almost doubles your chance of death. There are an estimated one million people in the UK who have diabetes who have not yet been diagnosed. Many diabetics perform Blood Glucose Testing with Blood Glucose Meters as part of their everyday lifestyle.
