Have you ever wanted to sit face to face with the diabetes experts outside of a hospital setting to learn more about your condition? Diabetes Ireland is delighted to offer you this opportunity.

On the night, each expert 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 Question & Answer sessions. This allows for easy conversation and a chance to ask them questions about your diabetes, or just to listen in.

The experts and their topics are:
Consultant Endocrinologist: Dr Brosnan – “Medical management of Diabetes”
Community Diabetes Dietitian: Ms Dearbhla O Hanlon – “Latest Dietary Guidelines for managing Diabetes”
Advanced Nurse Practitioner in Diabetes – Ms Corena Campbell – “Understanding your numbers; why blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels are so important”
