I would like to say a big thank you to all your readers who took part in Diabetes UK’s Swim22 challenge.

Hundreds of dedicated fundraisers took to their local pools to swim the same distance as the English Channel over the course of three months.

All the money raised will help us to make life better for the 3.8 million people in the UK living with diabetes.
