Monthly Insights - December 2023

We have teamed up with Diabetes UK and are working in partnership local community organisations to reach and hear from Sandwell residents with diabetes, or pre-diabetes. Diabetes UK has highlighted that more research is needed on the impacts of becoming elderly and
managing diabetes. As people age some may become frail and have other health conditions including having an increased risk of vascular dementia with diabetes.
