Did you know that globally, an estimated 422 million adults were living with diabetes in 2024, compared to 108 million in 1980? The prevalence has nearly doubled, rising from 4.7% to 8.5% in adults, with risk factors like being overweight or obese playing a major role. Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, and lower limb amputation—but it doesn’t have to be. Through a healthy diet, physical activity, and avoiding tobacco, type 2 diabetes can often be prevented or delayed. Treatment and regular screening can also help manage the disease and its complications. On 14 November, we observe World Diabetes Day to promote global efforts in improving health, access to treatment, and healthcare education. Let’s work together to raise awareness and fight diabetes. #WorldDiabetesDay #DiabetesAwareness #HealthMatters #PreventDiabetes #GlobalHealth #HealthyLiving

🌟 A Wake-Up Call on Diabetes 🌟 My mum sent me this link, to a Channel 4 News program about diabetes. I often receive articles on blood sugar, diabetes and all things health related due to my personal interest in wellness, especially after my own encounter with the disease a few years ago, which led to my near obsession with metabolic health. Few articles however, hit home like this one. It was emotional watching people suffer from severe, life-changing situations caused by Type 2 diabetes. No one should loose a limb or go blind due to a lack of awareness around the impact of the foods we eat. Sadly, they also reported that 3.2 million people in the UK are currently diagnosed with Diabetes (not counting those with Pre-Diabetes, which likely triples this figure). The other week I was having a coffee with Ben Calderhead (our Co-Founder) and Sam Feltham from PHC (Public Health Colaboration - an amazing organisation you should follow for the science of all things metabolic health), and Sam shared a devastating statistic: 25 people lose a limb every single day due to Type 2 diabetes. Let that sink in — 25 people every day in the UK alone. What’s worse is that this epidemic is mainly driven by diet and lifestyle which means it’s preventable. Blood sugar goes out of control when high level of carbs are consumed (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all snacks in between), leading to insulin resistance, which is at the heart of many if not most metabolic diseases, including diabetes. Surely this largely preventable tragedy calls for increased awareness about our food choices? We must do more. #DiabetesAwareness #MetabolicHealth #PreventiveCare #HealthWellness https://lnkd.in/e5gr59tA
