How we help
We help people with diabetes on a wide range of issues in connection with their diabetes. We also help friends, family and carers acting on behalf of people with diabetes.
If you have a question about your rights or think that you’ve been treated unfairly, we can help. Some examples of how we do this are:
- Helping you to get your driving licence back.
- Writing to your employer about your rights at work.
- Talking through your options if you’ve had your diabetes equipment or treatment taken away on a night out.
If your question is about a child with Type 1 diabetes and their rights at school, our Care in School Helpline can give you the information and support you need to make sure that your child is happy and healthy at school.
