  • I’ve been recently diagnosed with diabetes. What now?
  • How do I live with diabetes?
  • Diabetes and nutrition – what can I eat?
  • Food labels and how to read them.
  • Diabetes and exercise – what exercises are best?

Who should attend:

  • Diabetics, whether newly diagnosed or a lifelong diabetic.
