82: Diabetes: The shocking truth and what you can do about it

Did you know 4.8 million people in the UK have diabetes? That’s more than cancer and dementia combined. Plus get this - almost 1 in 5 of those people don’t even know they have diabetes…
Put Coronavirus aside for a moment, the World Health Organisation has been calling diabetes a “global epidemic” for a number of years now.
To mark Diabetes Week 2020, Anna and Clare are joined by Slimming World’s Head of Nutrition and Research - Dr Jacquie Lavin.
Anna shares the heartbreaking story of her dad who had type I diabetes. Eventually he had to have both of his legs amputated and suffered multiple heart attacks. His last words to Anna: “Don’t dig your own grave with a spoon like I did.”

In this episode, we reveal how anyone can have diabetes, we look at the tell tale signs, and reflect on new research by Slimming World which demonstrates how losing just 10% of your body weight could even reverse type II diabetes.
