Join us for a new series of video presentations detailing all aspects of navigating life with diabetes.

DRWF is proud to launch our new United Through Diabetes Web Event Series 2026 including educational video presentations from a wide range of leading figures in diabetes healthcare.

Diabetes: A Whole Life Blueprint presents a lifelong roadmap for integrated health, wellbeing, and diabetes management at every stage of the journey.

The programme of seven video presentations provides a deep dive into the nuances of life’s journey and managing diabetes and overall health effectively in all stages and aspects of life. 

Registration to sign up for the online programme is open now here


The event features six webinars on various aspects of living with diabetes scheduled throughout the year and repeated at key times.

Featured subjects include:

  • Foundations and the Path to Independence
  • The Rhythm of Womanhood
  • The Strength to Speak Out
  • The Heart of Wellbeing
  • Purpose and the Professional World
  • Fit For The Future: NHS 10-Year Health Plan for AI, Data and Digital Transformation
  • The Wisdom of Ageing Well 

In these seven episodes we will take a journey from birth and diabetes in children and adolescents to staying well with diabetes in later life.

Along the way we will delve into the management and challenges of all types of diabetes for women's health, men's health, mental health and managing things like diabetes burnout and maintaining a positive outlook.

We will look at managing diabetes in the workplace and the NHS's 10-year strategy to incorporate AI and emerging technology into our diabetes healthcare. 

What you can expect from Diabetes: A Whole Life Blueprint:

  • Taking a softer, more holistic and inspirational approach while still providing key clinical messages and positive outcomes.
  • Focusing on the shared lived experience and power of the diabetes community. Creating chapters covering the entire human experience from birth to the golden years.
  • Focusing on the "diabetes journey" to make what may be perceived as a clinical subject feel personal, supportive, holistic and a story of health and wellbeing for everyone.

The series is hosted by Professor David Strain, FRCP MD, Professor in Cardiometabolic Health, UK Parliamentary Thematic Research Lead for Health, Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, Honorary Consultant in Stroke, Geriatric and General Internal Medicine, Chair of the British Medical Association Board of Science, University of Exeter Medical School, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Department of Diabetes and Vascular Research Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.
