What is #diabeteschat?

The idea behind #diabeteschat is to connect with people with diabetes from all around the world to chat, share ideas and experiences and is about raising awareness of Diabetes. #diabeteschat unites people together in a peer support group and gives everyone the opportunity to listen, chat and say hello, ask questions or share their unique Diabetes journeys.

The #diabeteschat community brings together people; those newly diagnosed, to those who have had diabetes for a long time. Our community is open to connecting with everyone from; people with diabetes, to parents, partners, friends, family members and Health Care Professionals.

We have weekly Twitter Spaces on our #diabeteschat page, every Monday 8pm (London Time). You can follow us on our social media accounts; follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our YouTube channel and Instagram account.
