Does anyone know of events or meets in the Peterborough area? My 7 year old daugther would like to meet other diabetic children.

That seems or be a group aimed at Type 2 adults, Bamba. I'm assuming, as Ali-soph's daughter is 7, she's type 1, and this wouldn't meet her needs.
We have a parents section of the forum, and hopefully some of the parents will be along soon to help with ideas.@Bronco Billy could you help? (sorry, don't seem to be able to make that work as a link, will try again!)

Well done to your daughter Ali. Hope you get sorted 😎

Hello Ali-soph - There would appear to be a Diabetes UK children's group, in Peterborough: https://peterborough-childrens.diabetesukgroup.org/

On the page on the link there are contact details. I hope that helps.

There's also a large and very active group in Leicester too - although a bit of a step out for you, but having observed how that works a bit, it seems the parents get just as much out of the group as the parents. Peer support is really important.

I hope your group works out really well for you.
