Men, know your diabetes risk, say West Ham stars

West Ham captain Mark Noble, coach Tony Carr and player Andy Carroll

Diabetes UK has teamed up with West Ham United FC to encourage more men to find out their risk for type 2 diabetes, as part of the charity’s ‘Know Your Risk’ campaign. The campaign follows research showing that one million people have accessed the charity’s Know Your Risk online assessment tool, which calculates people’s chances of developing the condition in the next 10 years. However, 38 per cent more women than men are using the tool, despite the fact that men are at greater risk of type 2 diabetes than women.

West Ham captain Mark Noble said: “It only takes a few minutes to check your risk of type 2 diabetes with Diabetes UK’s online test. If you haven’t already, get online and use it. If you are at risk this test gives you the chance to take action now.”
