Vize commentates on the UK wide inspections by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), who have vowed inspect all online pharmacies by the end of the calendar year.

NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme
16 Jun 2015
A record number of the UK population are living with Type 2 diabetes. This is over twice the number of people compared with 1996. Unfortunately, many of us will experience potentially preventable complications as a result of diabetes, frankly because they are unaware and do not have enough knowledge about the condition and how they can manage it.
On a positive note, if you are at risk Type 2 diabetes, there are plenty of little alterations you can make to prevent the onset of diabetes in the first instance. The first thing to do is find out if you are at risk.
