This thread is now closed. Please contact Anna DUK, Ieva DUK or everydayupsanddowns if you would like it re-opened.
Understand that tickets to this event are now free
 
How often do these events come up?
I have been badgering DUK to include T1 in the package for Living with Diabetes Days as they used to.
However if there are days specifically for T1 that would be great. I can't mKe this one but would be interested in future dates and venues.

This is a once a year event - this year's is the second. It is organised by people with diabetes (GBDOC - GB Diabetes Online Community), rather than a charity 🙂 JDRF do 'Type 1 Discovery' days, worth looking out for: https://jdrf.org.uk/living-with-type-1/type-1-discovery-days/

DRWF also do events, which are for all types: http://www.drwf.org.uk/UpcomingEvents

Plus, I will try and put up our own calendar of (very!) informal meets today 🙂
 
Here's the update from Team Blood Glucose -- they can now announce that the entry fee for the conference has been underwritten, and will now be completely FREE OF CHARGE!

For those who have already purchased tickets, there will either be a refund of these, or you can choose to treat it as a donation to Team Blood Glucose. Email Team BG for details. pwdc@teambloodglucose.com

To register your place please go to: www.peoplewithdiabetesconference.com

As we do still need to fund the cost of refreshments throughout the weekend we would welcome a donation towards the cost of these as follows:

Lunch, tea & coffee = £10 per person per day

There will also be a 3 course evening meal on the Saturday, strictly limited to 150 spaces.
There is a £25-per-head charge on the meal, and please contact us by Friday 12th February if you wish to stay for it.

As well the opportunity to meet other people living with diabetes, the conference will feature the ‘GBDoc Bake Off Challenge’ and ‘BG Bingo’ with the chance to win great prizes, including a Dexcom CGM starter kit. There will also be the ‘GBDoc Swap Shop’, hypo table, and a Team Blood Glucose kit shop.

Tickets are available on a strictly first-come-first-served basis, so head over to the website to register for your place now!
 
The travel costs and timings with work make this difficult for me so unfortunately won't make it.
 
Taking place this weekend 🙂 Hope it goes well for anyone attending! 🙂
 
Yes, hope it is going well for anyone there. Does anyone listen/contribute to the weekly gbdoc live twitter chats?
 
Where were you last August then, Hobie? Do you not click on 'New Posts' when you come onto the forum?
