Diabetes affects more people than any other serious health condition in the UK. More than dementia and cancer combined.

More than 4.6 million people in the uk are living with diabetes. 90 % have type 2 diabetes and 10 % have type 1. There are also some very rare monogenic types of diabetes.

Diabetes Uk Charity campaigns to make sure everyone with diabetes gets the care they need to live well with diabetes. And also provide advice and support so people can get to grips with their condition. And our research increases what we know about diabetes, discovers new treatments and will, one day, find a cure.

I am a Diabetes research nurse in Bristol and within my role I work on clinical and academic diabetes trials to help find new cures and treatments for diabetes. And also I love running - so this is my way of incorporating something that keeps me fit and healthy along side raising come cash for a very worthy charity. 

Help support me on this iconic half marathon ! 

Thank you
