As #DiabetesAwarenessWeek comes to a close, we're highlighting some of the research helping us better understand how to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
From studies exploring weight loss and lifestyle interventions to research investigating whether improving sleep could lower risk, we are supporting research helping to shape new approaches to preventing type 2 diabetes.

Thank you @NIHRresearch for championing research and supporting the SELF-BREATHE trial, which I’m proud to lead as Chief Investigator.
Thank you, Ivy—your story is why I love doing research. Let’s keep encouraging everyone to #BePartOfResearch 💙

@CSI_KCL
At 80 years old, Ivy took part in the SELF-BREATHE study, testing a digital app to help people manage chronic breathlessness.
The app helped Ivy recognise the early signs of breathlessness and use practical techniques to manage her symptoms at home.
“I’m a strong advocate,” she says. “Don’t be frightened to take part.” 🙌
Whatever your age, ethnicity, gender or background - you can make a huge difference to the health and care of tomorrow.
