💉Today is World Diabetes Day. The theme for this year is ‘education to protect tomorrow’.💉

Being aware of what diabetes is and the signs to look out for can save lives. The earlier people with the condition are diagnosed, the less likely they are to have a medical emergency or life-changing complications relating to their condition.

The most common symptoms of type 1 diabetes can be summarised by the ‘4 Ts’. However, these symptoms can also be signs of type 2 diabetes.

If you or a family member is showing any of these symptoms, you should contact your GP practice to make an appointment.

📌World Stroke Day: 29th October 2025📌

October 29th is World Stroke Day. The NHS Fife Stroke Managed Clinical Network (MCN) are dedicated to raising awareness about stroke prevention, early recognition and support. A stroke can happen to anyone, at any time, and it’s crucial to understand the signs and how to respond swiftly.

The acronym FAST is an easy way to remember the sudden signs of a stroke:
📌Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
📌Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
📌 Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange?
📌 Time: If you observe any of these signs, call emergency services immediately.

Remember, acting FAST can save lives and improve recovery. Let’s spread the word and save lives!
