As a Diabetes Specialist Nurse, I have worked with countless people who are living with diabetes and have seen first-hand the devastation that this condition can cause in someone’s life. I want to take the plunge and challenge myself to Swim 22 so that I can do my bit to help raise awareness about diabetes as it is reaching into so many families in Northern Ireland. Exercise can significantly help reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes and helps manage the condition for those already living with diabetes.
