Coronavirus Information

If you are looking for useful information about looking after your diabetes during this time, and what to do if you are affected by the virus itself, Diabetes UK provide reliable and varied resources, including a discussion forum so you can talk with other people with diabetes about it and ways you can cope with stress and emotional aspects.

You can find their guide here 

If you're on Twitter, there is an excellent information source via @_diabetes101, run by a team of NHS diabetes specialists who are posting updates and responding to questions, signposting to useful resources and ways to get help if you need it

NHS Diabetes Pyschologist Dr Rose Stewart and her colleagues in the Wrexham Young Adult Diabetes Team have written a series of reassuring and practical guides to help you stay well emotionally during this time and have kindly allowed us to share them here.
