Jill Steaton, south-east regional manager of Diabetes UK, said: “We believe every person with diabetes, whether Type 1 or Type 2, wherever they live in the UK, deserves the best treatment and services.

“Getting involved in Diabetes Voices is an opportunity to make a real difference for people with the condition. Our experience shows that these types of events open to the public are an excellent way to raise awareness and give practical advice.”

Sandwiches and light refreshments will be served at 6.30pm, and the meeting will start at 7pm. Places must be booked in advance – call 01372 720 148 or email [email protected]
