The Diabetes Epidemic
Every day, 700 individuals are diagnosed with diabetes, joining over a million people in the UK reliant on insulin. In the workplace, this translates to a hidden but significant threat – with staggering implications including 190 amputations and 550 heart attacks weekly. The numbers are clear: diabetes is not just a health issue; it's a workplace safety crisis needing to be addressed.
Increased Workplace Risks
Statistically, it’s highly likely one or more members of your workforce has diabetes. Without proactive measures, your company faces a reality of diabetes-related incidents. The cost? Not just to your company, but to the very lives of your employees.
Introducing the DSO Diabetes Hypo Kit
A compact, easy to use, kit equipped with three fruit flavoured, caffeine and gluten free, 60ml glucose shots, ready to tackle hypoglycemic episodes head-on.
More than just a kit – it's a gateway to empowerment, offering comprehensive training accessible with a simple scan of a QR
code.
Empowerment Through Education
Throughout my twenty years in health and wellbeing, the constant rise in workplace diabetes has been alarming. It's not just a health issue—it deeply affects safety, productivity, and corporate responsibility. Many employees might not even know they are at risk, which can lead to severe incidents, including hypoglycemic episodes.
That's why I developed the DSO Diabetes Hypo Kit. This kit is more than an emergency response tool; it’s a step towards a safer, informed workplace. With straightforward, effective glucose shots, the kit ensures that both employees and
employers can swiftly address diabetes-related health challenges.
Our aim at DSO extends beyond risk management. Each Diabetes Hypo Kit is paired with training materials accessed via a QR code, empowering everyone with the knowledge needed to make impactful changes.
Integrating these kits into your health and safety strategy sets a higher standard in employee care, emphasising proactive health management and safety.
