University of Brighton - Living with Diabetes awareness event

Five people from the group formed an open discussion panel to raise awareness of the issues faced by people living with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes to university students at the University of Brighton, studying for an MSc in Diabetes.

Issues such as diagnosis, lifestyle modification, psychological impact and experiences with healthcare professionals were covered to help give the students an idea of life with diabetes from patients’ perspective.

Our thanks to Amy Evans, Alex Silverstein, Jim Mann, Jenny Wilmott and Kathy Doughty for donating their time to the session and to Dr. Chris Sargeant for his kind hospitality on the day.
