A NEW diabetes hub is supporting hundreds of locals people – and NHS South Yorkshire are encouraging more people to get in touch.

The hub has been designed specifically for those under 40 living with type two diabetes.

Type two diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of sugar in the blood to become too high.

It can cause symptoms like excessive thirst, needing to pee a lot and tiredness. However many people have no symptoms.

The new hub provides younger people living with type two diabetes with practical advice on diet, nutrition, and essential health checks to help them manage and take control of their health.

Dr David Crichton, chief medical officer at NHS South Yorkshire, said: “The new hub is here to help young people in South Yorkshire living with type two diabetes take control of their health.

“For those diagnosed before the age of 40, managing diabetes can be challenging, but this campaign provides personalised tools, practical advice, and emotional support.

“The hub also offers essential information on managing diet, fitness, mental health, and accessing local services, making it easier for individuals to navigate their diabetes journey in a way that works for them.

“If you or someone you know could benefit from these resources, explore the hub today and share it with those who might need support.”
