We're running online sessions to support people with type 1 diabetes in the South East

Facilitated by Caroline Walker, a member of our team who also has type 1, the sessions are set to run for 6 weeks and can include up to 12 participants. 

Each session will be an hour long and start at 7pm. They will offer participants the chance to share and learn from others with the condition, and discuss issues such as food, treatment and emotional health. 

This is a pilot scheme and going forward, we hope to be able to offer the same support to people with type 2 diabetes in the area.
