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 helpline@diabetes.org.uk

Technology in diabetes care has taken huge leaps forward in recent years, from insulin pumps to continuous glucose monitors. But many people living with diabetes are not able to access technology or choose not to.
In this episode, Jack Woodfield from Diabetes UK is joined by Georgia Weston, Sam Dottin and Dr Waqas Tahir to explore the world of diabetes tech.
Georgia is a medical student, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes aged 26. She shares her experiences with technology and why her view on tech has changed over time.
Sam works here at Diabetes UK and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes aged 41. She discusses how it was a chance diagnosis which left her looking for as much information as possible about how tech could help her manage her blood sugar levels.
Dr Tahir is a GP and diabetes clinical lead in Yorkshire and talks about the range of tech on offer for people living with diabetes and how he’s still on a learning curve when it comes to tech.
If you are affected by the topics discussed, or require support with your technology, then you can call our helpline team on 0345 123 2399, or email us at helpline@diabetes.org.uk
