In the UK, 2.3 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes and more than half a million people have the condition but don't know it yet. These figures are set to double by 2010.

Diabetes can develop at any age and those with friends or relatives with diabetes will understand how difficult it can be to learn to live with the condition.

People are being diagnosed with diabetes at an alarming rate; each year 100,000 people are diagnosed with Type 2. One in 20 of your employees, colleagues, friends and family will develop diabetes in their lifetime.
