Not sure what to think about the new membership fees
as i have just found out i need to pay more ,and if not , i can help in any other way volunteer mmm
let me see , my membership started in 1963 when i got my first job .
somewhere i have certificate for volunteers 25 YEARS of service to the West Suffolk Diabetic branch Bury st Edmunds
Also as i have suggested anybody who have diabetes for 50-60 -70 gets a different membership .

Hi Victor. We are aware that the new membership fee is something that not all of our members can afford. With this in mind we have a concessionary rate available of £18.00 annually. If you would like to discuss this, feel free to give us a call on 0345 123 2399 and we can answer any additional questions you have 🙂

Hi Victor, that's absolutely fine. Please could you enclose a cover note with your details and a note to say the cheque is for your concessionary membership? Thank you!
 
I cannot make voice calls for various reasons. Is there some other way I can request concessionary membership?

Clocking the DUK sign suspended from the ceiling ..offering a free finger prick test ..started a chain of events leading to me becoming a Supporter ..a mixture of brand and customer loyalty keeps me here.

The subs I pay each year is effectively offset by the four prescription items which I get ✻for free✻ as a diabetes patient ..in just one month.

Hi Victor, apologies for the delay in getting back to you. We're no longer producing the membership cards as we did before. The cards are slightly different now and they're called 'The inside track on diabetes' cards now, which is a card-sized foldout that has information about diabetes, space for your name, diabetes type, GP details and emergency contact details. If you'd like me to send one out to you please do let me know 🙂
