Many UK parents are ignorant of the danger to their children's skin from the sun, according to new research commissioned by suncream manufacturer Nivea.
Some 40% of the 1,500 people surveyed do not use suncream on their families during UK holidays, with some believing UK sun is less damaging than they experience abroad.
Half of the parents are unprepared to the extent that they don't take water, hats or sunglasses for UK beach holidays.
"While the UK isn't famous for its sunny, clear blue skies there is still a risk of sunburn even on cloudy days, as up to 80% of the sun's rays can penetrate through light clouds" says Nivea Sun brand manager Richard Duplock.

One Million People In UK Unaware They Have Type 2 Diabetes

More than one million people in the UK are now thought to have undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes, double the previous estimate.Truly alarming.

The Betacheck home Diabetes blood test checks the level of glucose in your blood.

In non-diabetics, the body produces insulin to reduce glucose levels in the blood. In diabetics this does not happen, and the tested glucose levels will remain high.

The American Diabetes Association recommends this type of test for the diagnosis of diabetes.

The Betachek Home Diabetes Test can be used in your own home, is easy to use and reliable.
