Diabetes support packs to combat 'inconsistent diagnosis process'

Charity distributing parcels around Isle of Man

New support packs for people with Type 2 diabetes aim to combat an 'inconsistent diagnosis process'. 

Charity, Diabetes Isle of Man, is distributing the parcels, containing booklets and guides to assist those with the illness.
