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

Research is vital if we’re to better understand, treat and prevent diabetes. But what’s it like to take part in research? Here, we explore the world of research trials, and also talk about some of the most innovative and exciting research projects that we’re funding.
In this episode, Jack Woodfield from Diabetes UK is joined by Sarah Parsons and Dr Vicky Salem.
Sarah lives in Plymouth and works in occupational administration. She was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the age of 21 and has dedicated herself to taking part in diabetes research, and she is now training to be an NHS Research Champion. She talks about the wide variety of projects that you can get involved with and why she feels it’s such a valuable experience.
Dr Salem is a clinician scientist and consultant diabetologist at St Mary’s Hospital in London. She shares an update on her research into a potential cure for type 1 diabetes, discusses heterogeneity within diabetes (diversity within a health condition), and offers an insight into some of the challenges faced by research teams.
