I’M INVITING Penarth Times readers to help us to set the record straight on diabetes this Diabetes Week, which runs from June 12 to 18.
During the week we will be inviting every assembly member (AM) in Wales to an event at the Senedd on Tuesday, June 14, including your regional and constituency AMs.
People affected by diabetes tell us every day that they’re frustrated by misconceptions about the condition. This is your chance to help tackle some of these myths.
Make sure that you have your voice heard by your AM by telling them about your experiences, care in your area and important facts you would like them to know about diabetes. Send your messages to wales@diabetes.org.uk along with your name and where you live and we will display them at our event for your AM to see.
For more information on Diabetes Week and to find resources to raise awareness of the condition in your community, visit diabetes.org.uk/diabetesweek.
