One million people across the UK could be risking their health and experiencing emotional distress by keeping their diabetes secret.
This week, 12th-18th June, is Diabetes Week, and Diabetes UK is aiming to raise £200,000 to expand its Careline service, which provides information and support to anybody affected by the condition.
Steve said: "I know Diabetes UK are looking to use this week to really highlight the importance of talking about diabetes, and want to stress that no-one is alone in dealing with issues surrounding the condition.
"I would encourage my constituents to really spread the word, and take a look at the website to learn more."
