Diabetes Covid-19 Helpline service to be stood down

2020-06-26

The Diabetes Helpline and email support service will be stood down from Sunday June 28th 2020.

The helpline was established as a 12 week service in response to the first Covid-19 surge and to support people living with diabetes during lock down.

During that period (from 7 April 2020 until 28 June) 430 people received support, advice and guidance via the Helpline.

Whilst the Helpline is being stood down at this time other support is available for you:-

if you are experiencing immediate Covid-19 health concerns please phone 111.
If you have general concerns about Covid-19 and diabetes related health concerns please visit www.diabetes.org.uk.
Alternatively please contact your GP, Community Pharmacy or your local Trust Diabetes Team for additional support.
