About the campaign
Diabetes is serious...
The Silent Assassin is Diabetes UK’s biggest-ever UK-wide advertising campaign. It aims to increase awareness of diabetes by highlighting that diabetes is serious – it can cause heart disease, stroke, amputation, kidney failure and blindness.
... but you can learn how to beat it
However, the campaign also includes the important message that you can learn how to beat it. With early diagnosis and by leading a healthier lifestyle and improving diabetes control, the risk of developing these serious complications can be minimised.
How we can help
Diabetes UK is here to help, with:
- support and information for people at risk of developing diabetes
- information on managing diabetes and reducing the risk of complications for people with diabetes and their loved ones.
