On World Diabetes Day we look at how some of the world's best known athletes live with the condition. When not managed properly, it can cause issues with your heart, feet and vision. In very serious cases it can lead to heart disease or kidney failure. England and Exeter Chiefs, Henry Slade, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes just before he signed his first professional rugby contract . He tells ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sport's Sarah Dawkins about how people wrongly believe it's caused from eating too much sugar and that there's a stigma around the condition. Sam Brand is a professional cyclist with Team Novo Nordisk, who are a US based team who are made up entirely of diabetics. He joins Sarah and John Bennett to discuss what he's doing to educate the public and change attitudes towards the condition. More than the Score is the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ World Service's daily podcast exploring stories from all over the world of sport.
