Roadshow

Measure Up Roadshow 2010

Diabetes UK launches the second part of its Roadshow campaign this year, visiting 79 locations across the UK.

The Roadshow will support our highly successful Measure Up campaign, which aims to raise awareness of diabetes, particularly highlighting the link between the risk of Type 2 diabetes and a person’s waist measurement.

Our Roadshow vehicles will be on the road from February offering free information and support. Free Type 2 diabetes risk assessments will also be available at all locations.

For up-to-date information on roadshows in your region please see the appropriate listing for your nation or region below. For any general enquiries, contact the Roadshow team.

Owing to unforseen circumstances, some changes have been made to the Roadshow events.

  • Nottingham: 4 to 5 May
  • Staines: 26 to 27 May
