Events for people aged 16 to 19 living with diabetes

16 to 19 year olds with diabetes living in mid and south Essex are invited to an informative session to find out more about the adult diabetes services and life as an adult with diabetes. 

Mid and south Essex covers areas from Chelmsford, Maldon, Braintree, Castle Point and Rochford, Thurrock, Southend, Basildon, Brentwood and Southend.

You can choose to attend an online session, face to face event, or both.

Both sessions are free to attend and will provide information and answer all your questions about adult topics such as alcohol management and dealing with exam stress. It is also a good way to find out who your adult diabetes team are and how they might work differently to children’s services.

Feel free to bring a family member, friend or caregiver along too.

All young people who join either the online session or face to face event will be entered into a free prize draw to win a £25 Amazon voucher.
