Friday 18th November is the Beat Diabetes Walkathon. Starts at the Oasis centre at 7am - the walk itself starts at 8am. It's a 3.1km walk to raise awareness of this condition which affects many many people, who many not even know they have the condition.

Cricketer Wasim Akram who suffers from diabetes himself, will be walking on the day.

Walking has not been clinical proven to cure diabetes, If anything excessive walking causes dehydration and smelly feet

Urgh it's an awareness walkathon and 12,000 people took part. And actually certain types of diabetes are fully reversable through diet and exercise. The reason diabetes is so rife here, is the rubbish lifestyle, lots of junk food, no exercise etc etc
