Diabetes is a long-term (chronic) condition caused by too much glucose, a type of sugar, in the blood. It is also sometimes known as diabetes mellitus. Diabetes affects 2.8 million people in the UK. It is thought that a further one million people have the condition but are not aware of it.

Often, diabetics suffer from Faecal Incontinence and suffer the low self esteem that comes with this problem of Bowel Control Disorder, stool leakage and weak anal sphincter muscles.
