Diabetes UK

You CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Charity Name: Diabetes UK

We are Diabetes UK. Our vision is a world where diabetes can do no harm. Diabetes affects more people than any other serious health condition in the UK. More than dementia and cancer combined. That means we need to take action now.

Did you know that every day around 700 people are diagnosed with diabetes in the UK, that’s one person every two minutes? More than 4.9 mil people in the UK now have diabetes and 13.6 mil are at increased risk of Diabetes Type 2. If nothing changes we predict that 5.5 million people will have diabetes in the UK by 2030.

Because we’re the leading UK charity for people affected by diabetes it’s our responsibility to lead the fight against the growing crisis. And this fight is one that involves all of us – sharing knowledge and taking diabetes on together.

We do lots of different things, including campaigning to make sure everyone with diabetes gets the care they need to live well with diabetes, We provide advice and support, so people can get to grips with their condition. And our research increases what we know about diabetes, discovers new treatments and will, one day, find a cure.

We are the UK’s leading charitable funder of diabetes research. In 2021, we invested over 6.4 million in diabetes research to kick start 31 new studies.

All of this and more is only made possible through donations and by people supporting Diabetes UK.
