- Type 1 Diabetes

- Diabetes in pregnancy (Gestational Diabetes)
- Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT)
- Impaired Fasting Glycaemia (IFG)
- Friends, carers, family members and/or partners of people with Diabetes
Diabetes Educators provide advice about managing your condition. We also run Diabetes support groups.
What to bring to your appointment
If you have any of the following please bring:
- Reading glasses
- Hearing aids
- Any referral letters from your doctor
- Any injections you have been prescribed for diabetes
- Any blood glucose meter, current test strips and lancet device (even if it is not working)

Bringing these items will help you get the most out of your appointment and help the Diabetes Educator to know what support you need.
