This World Diabetes Day, Friday 14 November, help prevent serious complications by knowing the four key symptoms of type 1 diabetes – the ‘4Ts’: Toilet (frequent urination), Thirsty (constant thirst), Tired (low energy), Thinner (unexplained weight loss).

If you suspect you have diabetes, please get in touch ASAP.
