It's here once again - the week that Alcohol Concern launches Alcohol Awareness Week. So why do people drink? Well it usually starts out with using alcohol as a way of unwinding after a stressful week - or when having a few drinks with friends. And while men are not meant to drink more than 3-4 alcohol units a day, women should not drink more than 2-3 units. But a lot of people don't know what units actually mean in terms of what they drink - and therefore don't know when they're drinking too much! Find out how much you are drinking by using your very own alcohol unit calculator You may be surprised at the results!

For World Diabetes Day 2011, Diabetes.co.uk are launching a UK appeal campaigning for all people with type 2 diabetes to have access to free prescriptions for blood sugar testing.

At the moment, the access to testing supplies is very variable across the UK and many people with type 2 diabetes are having prescription requests for test strips denied. Diabetes.co.uk feels this policy is short sighted and will lead to poor health for many people with type 2 diabetes in the future.

November 14th is a significant date in the diabetes calendar because it marks the birthday of the man who co-discovered insulin, Frederick Banting.

Banting discovered insulin in 1922, alongside Charles Best.
