Diabetes UK warns that up to 100 people each week in the UK can lose a lower limb through amputation as a result of diabetes.
In addition, poor diabetic control can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure and blindness.
Many people don’t know they have diabetes as it can develop without symptoms. However a diet of excess sugar and being overweight significantly increase the risk.
Eating a well balanced diet can improve blood sugar levels, stabilise weight and reduce the risk of diabetes.
