Prof Bruce Neal calls for healthy environments on the World Diabetes Day 2018

Obesity is one of the key drivers of Diabetes. When we think about obesity we tend to think about two things: eating too much and not taking enough physical exercise.

For the last 20-30 years we have viewed these primarily as personal choice type issues. But we mostly do things that are driven by the environment we live in.

We need governments to get industry on board and start looking at general healthiness of the environments we live in.
