Diabetes Week 2025 Diabetes Week is a week to make some noise, raise awareness and shout about the things that matter to people with diabetes, shining a light on what it’s like to live with day in, day out.  And this year, we want to talk about the health checks you need when you have diabetes, why they're so important and some of the reasons people might not be getting them.

🔵 It’s #DiabetesWeek!

Diabetes is often invisible, but its impact at work is real — from managing fatigue to dealing with stigma.

Let’s talk, support, and include.

Disabled people are being hit hardest by cuts.
