Sit face-to-face with the diabetes experts outside of a hospital setting and learn more about diabetes.

Diabetes Ireland is delighted to offer you this opportunity, supported by lottery funding, we have gathered four experts from a variety of fields in the area of Type 2 diabetes to answer YOUR questions.

On the night, each speaker will give a 5 minute introduction on their topic. Following this, you and fellow attendees will be divided into small groups (no more than 12) at a round discussion table. Our experts will move from table to table in rotation for a 15 minute Q&A sessions.
