People with diabetes will also need to make some lifestyle changes to manage their blood sugar level.

The NHS recommends eating a healthy diet, keeping active and controlling your weight.

When it comes to diet, the health body advises: “There’s nothing you cannot eat if you have type 2 diabetes, but you’ll have to limit certain foods.

“You should eat a wide range of foods – including fruit, vegetables and some starchy foods like pasta, keep sugar, fat and salt to a minimum, and eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day – do not skip meals.”
