A Milton Keynes man who devotes much of his free time to increasing diabetes awareness among the Muslim community in the town has been honoured with a special Inspire award.
Abdul Rais lives in Bradwell Common and has suffered from Type 2 Diabetes since 1999, but his diagnosis motivated him to start volunteering in his local community, helping other sufferers manage their condition.
South Asian people are six times more likely to contract this form of diabetes – something that has led Rais to push for greater education about the disease, which can lead to blindness, loss of lower limbs, strokes and kidney failure.
