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 health if you are at high risk of developing type 2.

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.

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.

English not your first language?
We have this handy tool called Browsealoud (see orange icon at the top right of the page) that can help turn our pages into a language you understand.
This video will show you how to use each feature on the Browsealoud toolbar.
HOW?
To help manage your high risk of type 2, you will find culturally specific resources that will help to raise awareness, expand knowledge, provide inspiration, and improve dietary habits.
From help with specific ethnic cuisines to assisting you to a higher level of wellness, this section is being developed to help you achieve your goal of becoming a healthier you.
