What is diabetes?

In simple terms diabetes prevents your body converting sugars and starches in your food into energy. The body uses insulin to do this. When diabetes is present the body fails to produce insulin or the insulin it does produce doesn’t work properly (insulin resistance).

Make a difference

The Diabetes Wellness Network is our growing group of subscribers with type 1 & type 2 diabetes or others with an interest in diabetes.
