On Tuesday 25 June from 6-7pm, 5 Young Leaders from the Midlands and East of England region will come together to form a lived experience panel where they will each share their own experiences relating to mental health, wellbeing and type 1 diabetes. ⁠

With 37 years' experience of living with type 1 diabetes between them, the Young Leaders are offering healthcare professionals a chance to hear directly from them, for an open conversation around things that can be done to improve the experiences of children and young people living with type 1. ⁠
