Diabetes UK is working to improve the lives of people with diabetes. It is essential that all people with diabetes, no matter where they live, receive high quality care and information through increased understanding of diabetes.
Diabetes UK is aware that many people with diabetes in institutional settings, such as prisons, can find it difficult to manage their diabetes successfully, to limit the development of acute metabolic problems such as hypoglycaemia, as well as disabling long-term complications.
