Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases that cause high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced.
Diabetes has become a growing concern in recent times, affecting 1.6 million people in the UK. Express Chemist stocks many products that can aid the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes, including needles and lancets, blood glucose monitors, screening tests and diabetic foods.
