A woman from Crick who has diabetes is offering support to people living with the condition, with the help of charity Diabetes UK.
Leigh White, 46, is working with Diabetes UK to use her experience of living with diabetes to trial a peer support scheme. She was diagnosed with Mature Onset Diabetes of the Young, when she was 27.
The charity has trained her to use her diabetes knowledge to reach out to people with the condition who are looking for support networks. The peer support scheme has been created by Diabetes UK so that people can be in touch with other people who understand what being diagnosed and living with diabetes means.
