Welcome to The Diabetes Education Network
Diabetes is a complex condition, which is affected by, and can affect almost all daily activity. Most day to day decisions (eg the taking of insulin, food choices, activity levels), which affect blood glucose levels, are made by the person with diabetes. As such, people with diabetes are responsible for managing their condition.

The Diabetes Education Network started in 2003 as the Type 1 Education Network. It is a national network of diabetes health professionals from all parts of the UK who are committed to developing and delivering structured education programmes for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
