"People living with #diabetes are calling for healthier #kiddushim, more expert-led advice and greater support across #Jewish communal life, according to an ongoing survey by Jewish Blind and Disabled (#JBD).

Nearly three-quarters of respondents said more diabetes support and information is needed within the Jewish community, while many highlighted the challenges of managing the condition at communal events and during Jewish festivals.

The findings come as JBD and #JewishNews conclude a month-long diabetes awareness campaign launched after research revealed that around 17 percent of #British #Jews over the age of 65 are living with diabetes – more than double the rate seen in the wider population."
