Living Diabetes is an evidence-based diabetes education resource for people living with diabetes, people at risk of diabetes, and the families and professionals who support them.
Our goal is simple: make diabetes guidance easier to understand without turning it into personal medical advice.
What we cover
- Type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes
- Insulin resistance, prediabetes, and metabolic health
- Food choices, carbohydrate awareness, weight loss, and remission
- Diabetes medications, insulin, GLP-1 medicines, and SGLT2 inhibitors
- Complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and feet
- Practical tools including HbA1c, glucose, eGFR, BMI, carb, and CGM calculators
Who writes Living Diabetes?
Content is published under the Living Diabetes Editorial Team. This protects the privacy of individual contributors while keeping the site accountable through a transparent editorial process, named source standards, correction routes, and clear review dates.
Clinical topics are checked against current guidance from organisations such as NICE, the NHS, the American Diabetes Association, Diabetes UK, KDIGO, the BNF, and peer-reviewed research. Where guidance differs, we aim to explain the difference rather than hide it.
Our standards
- We use primary clinical sources wherever possible.
- We separate evidence-based information from personal opinion.
- We avoid sensational claims, especially around cure, reversal, and remission.
- We update important clinical pages when guidance changes.
- We correct material errors when readers or reviewers identify them.
You can read the full process on our Editorial Process page and see the core references on Our Sources.
What this site is, and what it is not
Living Diabetes is an educational resource. It is not a substitute for personalised medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Diabetes care depends on your own medical history, medication, glucose data, kidney function, pregnancy status, other health conditions, and preferences.
Any change to insulin, diabetes medication, blood-pressure treatment, kidney medication, diet, or exercise should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional who knows your situation.
