Our Guides

Our new series of comprehensive Guides on aspects of living with diabetes are ‘deep dives’ into the diabetes experience. We’re looking to do ones on injecting, footcare, eye and skincare as well as one on wellness. We’ll also take a look at the various types of diabetes ‘kit’ that we use, so there will be guides on blood glucose monitors (including continuous glucose monitors, or CGM), insulin pumps (also including CGM) as well as a Guide as to ‘how to have a hypo’ (and ways to stop them too!)
