Diabetes Week 2026: Supporting Health and Wellbeing

This week marks Diabetes Week 2026, an opportunity to raise awareness of diabetes and the importance of prevention, early diagnosis, and effective management.

Diabetes affects millions of people and can have a significant impact on daily life. Whether living with Type 1, Type 2, or gestational diabetes, access to the right support, information, and healthcare services is essential.

We are committed to promoting employee wellbeing and encouraging healthy Lifestyle Advice. Small changes, such as maintaining a balanced diet, staying physically active, attending regular health checks, and understanding personal risk factors, can make a meaningful difference.

During Diabetes Week, we encourage colleagues to take a moment to learn more about diabetes, support friends, family members, or colleagues who may be affected, and explore the wellbeing resources available through our organisation.

Together, we can help create a healthier, more informed workplace.
