About this episode
The episode discusses Diabetes Week 2026 and the efforts of charities to promote support and awareness for diabetes.
June 8th to 14th is Diabetes Week. Charities in this area will be using the week to encourage more people to get support for the condition, as well as encourage people to take steps to avoid, or control the condition. RNIB Connect Radio’s Allan Russell spoke to Laura MacPherson and Fiona Kane from Diabetes Scotland. If you’d like more info, call 0141 212 8710 Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm.
