As part of our #dedoc° voices scholarship program, they place people with diabetes at the centre, allowing them to talk to the audiences of diabetes conferences, such as healthcare professionals, researchers and industry representatives, on topics relevant to the diabetes community. #dedoc° symposia take place on-site at diabetes conferences across the globe.

Head shot of me in dedoc badge. Saying I'm a #dedoc voice at #DUKPC2025.

I am attending #DUKPC2025 as part of the #dedoc° voices programme, granting me complimentary registration to the conference.
I am keen to continue working with health professionals & allied services to enable older people like myself to ‘age well with diabetes’.

FASCINATING day yesterday at the Hyperinsulineamic Clamp Day 1 Trial for Alpha MSH.
