“We’re always there for people because we care deeply about them.”
Jenny Hirst,
IDDT Co-founder
We are an organisation for people living with diabetes run by people living with diabetes.
We recognise that when one person in a family lives with diabetes, this affects other family members and we offer support to partners and parents.
We raise awareness of important issues for people with diabetes and provide information in non-medical language.
Dr Anne St Aubin Roberts wasn’t diagnosed with type 1 diabetes until she was an adult and initially dealing with the disease was ‘hell’ for her until she came across IDDT.
IDDT is for people living with diabetes and is run by people living with diabetes. We also support partners, parents and carers and provide a wide range of help including information that is provided in non-medical language.
We want to help people with diabetes and their carers, partners and parents – in fact anyone whose life is impacted by diabetes.
Our resources include a comprehensive website, regular newsletters, informative leaflets and an annual conference.
Our team runs a confidential helpline to offer anyone affected by diabetes a listening service, information and support.
“IDDT do a magnificent job in helping people to come to terms with diabetes and understand what they need to do.”
It’s free to become a member of the IDDT and join our growing network of members living with diabetes.
