The first time we had this Deaf-led Deaf Diabetes Event, 3 years ago, by the same organiser, was successful.
I learnt much to protect myself from developing Diabetes as well as keeping an eye on my late husband who had some family members developing Diabetes as older people.
Also, to be more aware of certain symptoms among friends and relatives.
It was one of the best half days in health awareness we ever had, the NHS professionals and communication access were fantastic and approachable.

Type 2 diabetes is very different to type 1 diabetes. They are not to be conflated. You might be able to do things (lifestyle related, usually) to help avoid developing type 2, but not type 1.
