The annual event has been held for more than a decade and has one aim.
And that’s to educate people with diabetes how to manage their condition, find out more about different treatments, follow the right diet and see the benefits of exercise.

Grace Roberts, of Lower Quay, Fareham, was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes last year.

‘It was from there concerns were raised and I went to see my GP who confirmed I had diabetes.
