Today is World Diabetes Day

This year’s theme: Diabetes and the Workplace - highlights the importance of creating healthier, more supportive environments for those living with diabetes.

Interventional Radiology continues to play a vital role in managing diabetes-related complications such as peripheral vascular disease (PVD), helping patients maintain mobility, prevent amputation, and improve overall wellbeing.

As we recognise this day, let’s continue to raise awareness of how IR supports better outcomes for diabetic patients — both in and beyond the workplace.
