Graham with Khosrow Sofla, store manager, at Helsby Tesco raising awareness for Diabetes UK
Graham was delighted to support Helsby Tesco’s action day to raise awareness about diabetes as part of Diabetes Week.
Graham said: “Three million people in the UK, equivalent to 4.6 per cent of the population, have been diagnosed with diabetes and a further 850,000 are thought to be unaware that they are living with the condition.
“It is vitally important that we make people aware of the symptoms of diabetes and to highlight the dangers of unhealthy lifestyles which put seven million people in the UK at a high risk of developing type two diabetes.
“It is fantastic that Tesco has announced its commitment to raising £10 million as part of a new charity partnership with Diabetes UK. This is the largest amount ever pledged to Diabetes UK and will help create a healthier future for people affected by diabetes or at risk of developing it.
“To find out if you might be at risk of developing diabetes then you can take a risk assessment online at Tesco.com/diabetes.”
