Every Friday, we celebrate the kind words shared about our brilliant Screeners!

She was praised for explaining everything clearly and making the patient feel completely comfortable throughout their visit.

Thank you, Abbie, your professionalism and compassion truly make a difference!

Easter is a time to enjoy good food, treats and time with family, but if you’re living with diabetes, it can also bring questions about chocolate, meals and keeping blood sugars steady.

The team at Diabetes UK have shared some really helpful tips on how to enjoy Easter foods while staying in control of your diabetes. From managing chocolate treats to planning balanced meals, it’s well worth a read.

Take a look here:

How to eat chocolate in a healthier way at Easter, including our recipe suggestions and why it's best to avoid 'diabetic' chocolate.
