Diabetes is a lifelong condition that causes a person's blood glucose level to become too high, due to a relative lack of, or increa sed resistance to insulin. Insulin facilitates the transport of glucose into the cells. In diabetes mellitus, because of a lack of insulin (type 1) or resistance to it (type 2), glucose cannot get into the cells of the body where it is used for fuel. Elevated blood glucose levels can lead to sight loss, amputation, kidney failure, stroke, and death. More than 500 people with diabetes die prematurely every week.

This is the second edition of the resource that has been developed by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) and the RCN Bladder and Bowel Forum. It aims to support RCN members to promote continence and manage incontinence for people with bladder and bowel problems.
