Diabetes affects a significant number of people in the world and no doubt will affect more and more people in the future due to current lifestyle and social dietary norms!

My mother has lived with type 1 diabetes for the majority of her life and my granddad lived with type 2 diabetes also, so I've witnessed the serious effects it has on people's lives. 

It's easy to take for granted the freedom of food consumption but people with diabetes have to monitor and consider everything they consume and how it will have an effect on their daily lives. 

Increasing the awareness of the dangers of diabetes, ensuring the production of adequate amounts of medical supplies and supporting those in need is paramount to controlling the effects of diabetes in the near and long term. 

I am running for Diabetes U.K. for my mum, my granddad and all those who require Diabetes now and in the future. 

I appreciate any assistance and generosity you can offer by donating to a great cause!
