We’re really excited to be launching a brand new event for people living with diabetes. Come along to our Diabetes UK Professional Conference Insider and get the inside track on the most exciting diabetes research.

On: Saturday 17 March, 10am – 4.15pm
At: ExCeL London

For the first time we’re bringing the best bits from our Professional Conference straight to people living with diabetes, including sessions on:

·Exciting developments in diabetes research, including immunotherapy research in Type 1 diabetes and the DiRECT study into Type 2 diabetes remission
·Expert discussions on topics including exercise, diabetes burnout and social media
·A Tomorrow’s World panel debate on what’s on the horizon in diabetes research.

Looks interesting.
 
I want to go - I am easily drawn into presentations and conferences! I also like the questions asked afterwards. Just waiting to see if my daughter can put me up the night before so I don't have to get up at a ridiculous time (for me!) to get there

Sadly I also want to go to both sessions in the first presentation time -

The diabetes tech revolution: Dr Pratik Choudhary

Will resistant starch change the way we think about carbs?: Dr Denise Robertson
Does anyone know of either of these 2 speakers?
 
Im about to book my place on this. Sounds interesting.
 
I've stopped faffing about and booked. Means an early start, so hope Saturday trains will be ok. 🙂

@Hannah DUK Ive booked places for me and my other half to attend do I get anything like tickets etc sent to me via email as I haven't received anything yet? Only the initial email confirmation. Thank you.
 
Glad to hear you'll be going stitch 🙂
Just checked with the event team, and they confirmed that you'll be sent an email a week before the event containing a barcode plus an overview of the programme, general information etc.
Hope you enjoy it, you'll have to let us know how it goes!
 
That's good to know, thanks for asking @Stitch147, I was wondering too. I haven't been to anything like this before so a little nervous....but looking forward to it. Should be very interesting. Taking other half as well, so hopefully he'll remember anything I forget...he's also much better on the underground than me, so I won't be late 🙂

You definitely can't be late now!🙂
 
I know there's engineering works on our mainline part of the journey, so I've already planned about that.
 
Email arrived today with all the info. I've decided what talks I want to go along to. I'm looking forward to it.

Aren't you going to attend the event yourself then Hannah?
 
I am now attending yes! ( I was not when I wrote that comment!😳) I'll be volunteering to help delegates find their way around but will hopefully be able to attend some talks as well.
Really looking forward to it and will update you on anything interesting as well. See you there @Stitch147 :D

Hopefully you'll have a name tag on so I can spot you. I've got pink hair and tattoo's, so quite easy to spot!
 
Trains are running even though it's snowing, so we're on our way to the Excel centre. First stop will be a warm cup of tea! Will report back later on what it's like.
