Free webinar series for people under 40 with Type 2 Diabetes

NHS Sussex have been working with the Diabetes Care For You team at Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust to produce a series of free webinars aimed at those under the age of 40 who are living with Type 2 Diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes in young adults is known to be more aggressive than in older adults. With the right specialist support and treatment, it’s possible to live well and avoid complications.

This webinar series covers everything from understanding your diagnosis to planning for pregnancy, managing weight, and looking after your mental health.

All sessions run from 7 - 8pm and are free to attend, can be watched back on demand, and in the language of your choice. Perfect for fitting around work and family commitments.
