Diabetes Discussions - A Diabetes UK Podcast
By Diabetes UK
Whether you’re living with diabetes or know someone who is, ‘Diabetes Discussions’ brings you the conversations you’ll want to hear.
Diabetes is sometimes known as the hidden condition. Millions of us live with it; millions more misunderstand it. We know diabetes can affect everyone differently - it can play a small part in your life or completely consume it.
Each episode we'll be talking about the realities of diabetes as we delve into topics such as technology, sport, mental wellbeing, research, stigma and everything in-between.
Our host, Jack Woodfield, will be joined by people living with diabetes and people whose lives are affected by diabetes, who’ll share their personal experiences.
Some of these conversations may be upsetting, and if you are affected by the topics discussed then you can call our helpline team on 0345 123 2399, or email us at [email protected]
