It’s possible for one to develop Type 2 diabetes, but certain factors can increase your risk, such as your age, family history, ethnicity, weight and blood pressure. Type 2 diabetes can lead to serious health complications if left untreated, and so we are keen to support our NHS colleagues to significantly reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by making small lifestyle changes, with support from your local Healthier You programme.
