Welcome to United Through Diabetes 2023
Welcome to the BIG Diabetes Wellness Day – United Through Diabetes

Launched to mark DRWF’s 25th anniversary year, we have created this unique one-stop-shop of everything diabetes to include exclusive content for people of all ages living with every type of diabetes, as well as family members, carers, and healthcare professionals. We hope you have a great day with us and go home armed with the tools, knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to enhance your diabetes self-management and overall health and wellbeing:
Today, we come together to learn, refresh knowledge, and share experiences with like-minded friends. Today, we are United Through Diabetes.

How to support us
We don’t receive any government income and rely entirely on donations and fundraised income to support our work. The researchers we fund work tirelessly to improve our knowledge of diabetes; explore new treatments and management pathways, on the long road towards our ultimate goal of a CURE. Alarmingly, diabetes continues to grow in pandemic proportions around the world and with almost 5 million people living with diabetes in the UK, our work is increasingly important.
Your support enables us to fund the research that we believe will make diabetes a thing of the past. We are investing in a brighter future for people with diabetes, will you?
It's easy to make a donation in the green box below.
Alternatively, if you would like to get involved in our fundraising activities, perhaps participate in a pre-planned challenge event, or hold an event in your local community with family and friends, please contact us on 023 92 637808 or fundraising@drwf.org.uk
