For Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Week (22-28 May 2023), Diabetes UK is encouraging younger men to take a free and simple test to understand their risk of type 2 diabetes.
Men under 40 are most likely to be spurred into action to improve their health by a health scare, or if a healthcare professional such as a GP said they needed to, according to new research commissioned in partnership with Tesco.
Diabetes UK is therefore encouraging the uptake of a free type 2 diabetes risk assessment, Know Your Risk, in men under 40, to understand their risk and not wait for symptoms to appear.
