This year Diabetes Week will run from Sunday 13th to Saturday 19th June. The week, organised by Diabetes UK, aims to highlight the various myths of diabetes and to try and increase the level of understanding around the condition.
If you have experienced confusion or misunderstanding about diabetes and would like to share your story please get in touch with the Media and Campaigns Manager at Diabetes UK.
The week will also be used to inform people of the need for a healthy lifestyle.
To hold a fundraising or awareness event to mark Diabetes Week, or for more information of how you can get involved, please contact the Diabetes UK office on 028 9066 6646.
