🩺 November is

Did you know that approximately 4.6 million people in the UK have a diagnosed form of diabetes — and an estimated 1.3 million more may be living with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes?

Diabetes is a common condition where the body’s ability to produce insulin is impaired. While it’s a lifelong condition, with the right management and support, its effects can be successfully kept at bay.

There are several early warning signs to look out for. If you think you or someone you know may be showing symptoms, it’s important to take action.

👨🏻‍⚕️⏱️ In our blog, Dr Adam Simon, founder and lead GP at Private GP Extra, recommends being aware of the key signs to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.
