Adult weekends

Diabetes UK West Midlands

Adult supportThese weekends are for adults with diabetes who have been diagnosed in the last two or three years. They offer a chance for people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes to meet others, join in discussion groups, talk to healthcare professionals, learn more about healthy eating, exercise and care.

Please do come along with your partner, carer or friend, so you can both share your increased knowledge of living with diabetes. We are unable to offer childcare facilities.

"Many thanks to those who worked so hard along with the doctors and nurses to give us a happy, relaxed and above all informative weekend." 

"It proved most enlightening and helpful. It helped people to understand more about diabetes, that they are not alone, and that support is out there."
