Worried you could be at risk of type 2 diabetes?

Small changes in your family history, lifestyle, or new symptoms can make a big difference.

Here’s what to look out for:

• 👪 Family history matters – If a parent, sibling or close relative has diabetes, your risk increases.

• 🍔 Lifestyle factors count – Being overweight, not very active, or having a larger waist size can raise your risk.

• 🚩 Symptoms can be subtle – Feeling more thirsty, tired, or needing to wee more often could be early signs.

• 📊 Check your risk here: https://riskscore.diabetes.org.uk/start

• 📖 Learn more about diabetes: https://patient.info/diabetes/diabetes-mellitus-leaflet

Remember: diabetes isn’t inevitable. Taking action now can protect your health. 💪

🌬️ Lung Cancer Awareness Month 🌬️

This month, we’re raising awareness about the important links between lung health, coughs, and family cancer history.

A cough that won’t go away is often put down to a cold, asthma, or heart problems but sometimes, it could be a sign of something more serious. If your cough lingers, gets worse, or you notice other symptoms, it’s best to get it checked.

🧬 Did you know?

When your doctor asks about your family history of cancer, they mean any type of cancer not just lung cancer. This information helps assess your risk and guide the right care and support for you.

📖 Learn more about cancer risk and genetics:

👉 Macmillan Cancer Support : https://www.macmillan.org.uk/.../family-history-genetics...

👉 Cancer Research UK : https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/.../family-history-and...

Stay alert to any changes, know your family history, and speak up for your lung health 💨

🧡 Kidney Cancer Awareness

Often there are no obvious symptoms of kidney cancer—but when they do appear, they can include:

💧 Blood in your p*e

🎯 A lump or swelling in your back

😣 Pain between your ribs and waist that doesn’t go away

🥱 Feeling tired or having no energy

🍽️ Loss of appetite or losing weight
