Living Diabetes is an evidence-based diabetes resource, built to help people living with diabetes — and the people who care for them — understand their condition and live well with it.
What we do
We translate the latest clinical guidelines and research into plain-language guides on:
- Type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes
- Insulin resistance, prediabetes, and metabolic health
- Diabetes-friendly diets — low-carb, keto, Mediterranean
- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and diabetes technology
- Newer treatments — GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, dual agonists
- Day-to-day living: travel, exercise, mental health, work, and relationships with diabetes
Our standards
Every piece of clinical content on this site is anchored to authoritative sources — most often NICE (UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), the NHS, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Standards of Care, Diabetes UK, and peer-reviewed research indexed in PubMed and the Cochrane Library.
Articles are reviewed against current guidance and updated when new evidence is published. You can read more about our process on our editorial process page.
What this site is — and isn’t
Living Diabetes is an information resource. It is not a substitute for personalised medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from your own healthcare team. Diabetes is a deeply individual condition, and any change to your medication, diet, or testing routine should be made in conversation with your GP, diabetes specialist nurse, dietitian, or endocrinologist.
If you’re experiencing a diabetes emergency — very high or very low blood glucose, suspected diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), or any sudden serious symptom — please contact emergency services or attend A&E.
