A new online hub has been launched to support people living in Dorset who may be at risk of developing diabetes or already live with the condition.

The new hub has been developed by NHS Dorset alongside people living the condition and local partners from the health and care sector to provide information and support for people of all ages who are affected or may be at risk. This includes self-management tools, resources and advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle and reduce individual risk.

In Dorset, more than 52,000 people have been diagnosed with diabetes, representing over 6.3% of the population, with thousands more identified as being at a heightened risk of developing the condition.

The new website can be found at www.nhsdorset.nhs.uk/diabetes.
