Two ECHO reporters have shared their experiences of living with diabetes as they say "it is 24 hours, seven days a week".
World Diabetes Day is held annually on November, 14, and this year's theme is #RewriteTheStory. Diabetes UK is highlighting the importance of being diagnosed early as “it can save lives, prevent a media emergency and reduce the risk of life-changing complications later”.
The charity is making sure everyone knows the warning signs to look out for and when you should you visit your GP. These include feeling very tired, urinating more frequently than usual, especially at night, frequent episodes of thrush, cuts or wounds that heal slowly and blurred vision.
