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.

Life with diabetes can feel like number, check and test overload. You might feel fine, or feel like you don’t have the time. Or maybe you’re not sure what checks you should be getting. But these regular diabetes health checks are vital to keep you healthy, so you can continue living life to the full. 

Watch this space for more details about our Diabetes Week plans, and if you have any questions, get in touch by emailing diabetesweek@diabetes.org.uk
