Diabetes, You and me, is a community based Peer Support group, aimed at patients who are living with Diabetes. The group aims to provide tips and encourage conversation to empower patients to live a healthy lifestyle and to learn more about living with the condition.
What does Diabetes, You and Me Offer?
Diabetes, You and Me offers both clinical and lifestyle support to help patients manage their diabetes in a peer-supported environment.
They hold fun cooking sessions where patients can find out how to cook their favourite recipes in a more healthy and Diabetic friendly way. They also offer clinical sessions with a specialist Diabetes nurse as well as discussion forums where patients can talk about their experiences and share hints and tips.
When and where are sessions held?

Do I need a referral from my GP?
