Manx Diabetic Group says raising awareness key
The recent political debate over diabetes screening in the Island has been welcomed by a local charity.
In Tynwald last month, a motion calling for members to back more testing for the condition was supported by the health minister.
David Ashford said raising awareness among the public about the condition is key to tackling it.
That's something Chair of the Manx Diabetic Group Joanne Clague agrees with:
