Health conditions

Simple, practical guides to understand your health and know when to act.

Diabetes

Diabetes means the body can't keep blood sugar in a healthy range, because it makes too little insulin or can't use it well.

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing on your artery walls. When it stays high, the heart and blood vessels are under constant strain.

Heart disease and high cholesterol often develop together and silently. Knowing your cholesterol, blood pressure and sugar helps protect your heart.

What and how much you eat shapes your weight, blood pressure and blood sugar. Small, steady changes to everyday meals make the biggest difference.

Pregnancy and the first years of life are when good care matters most. Regular check-ups help keep both mother and baby safe.

Many men visit a health facility only when something is badly wrong. Regular checks of blood pressure, sugar and weight catch problems early.

Mental health is part of your health. Stress, low mood and poor sleep affect blood pressure, sugar and daily life, and support is available.
