Our communities

We have developed this section specifically to help all our communities find the right resources both quickly and easily. 

Diabetes impacts different communities in different ways, we all like to eat different foods, move in different ways and manage our health in a way that suits us.  These pages are here to help you better manage your diabetes condition.

We Like the Way You Move

This Girl Can

This Girl Can is reframing what getting active looks like for women who don’t feel they belong in the world of physical activity. We’re supporting the ‘We Like the Way You Move’ campaign to celebrate how women move through life in their own way.

The campaign shows that starting with just ten minutes of movement can lift your mood, boost energy and build confidence.

WHY?

Type 2 diabetes is up to six times more likely to develop in someone from an African, Asian, Arab or other ethnic minority groups than someone from the general white British population. Risk factors include age, weight, and family history.
