Diabetes Awareness

This month we’re talking diabetes…

To mark its awareness day on 14 November – Learning Support is reminding all our staff of the signs and symptoms.

Toilet – Going for a wee more often.

Thirsty – Non-stop thirst and drinking more than usual.

Tired – Feeling more tired and having less energy than usual.

Thinner – Unexplained weight loss.

If type 1 diabetes is left undiagnosed, it can get really serious, really quickly. But knowing the signs can avoid a medical emergency and save lives.

This awareness campaign is all about helping you spot the four most common signs of type 1 diabetes in both adults and children, and they’re really easy to remember.
