The proportion of people with type 2 diabetes, specifically, is increasing and through key partnerships with both the American Diabetes Association and Diabetes UK, Saladmaster knows that there are ways you can manage, delay and prevent developing the condition.

At Saladmaster, our mission is to inspire people to eat better, live better and achieve the life that they desire and one of the ways to reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes is through adopting a healthier lifestyle.

Diabetes Matters

In 2018, Saladmaster started worldwide partnership with different diabetes associations to help raise the awareness and prevention of diabetes. One of the largest sponsorships is with the American Diabetes Association, and together both organizations are working together to help stop diabetes.

In 2019, Saladmaster extended a partnership with Diabetes UK  to help raise awareness of type 2 diabetes in the UK. This year, Saladmaster was invited to be a featured headline in a film where Diabetes UK is partnering with the International Diabetes Federation in a global program called Diabetes Matters. 

The Diabetes Matters program covers a huge range of topics including, the latest advancements in treatment, research and care, and how type 2 diabetes can be prevented and the impact the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has on those living with the condition.

The new program will raise awareness on an international scale and Saladmaster is very pleased to be included within the film.
