Letterkenny, it’s your turn! 🌟

Diabetes technologies like Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs), insulin pumps, and hybrid closed-loop systems are transforming life with Type 1 diabetes. Just a few years ago, CGMs were hard to access and insulin pump awareness was low. Today, access has never been greater – and hybrid closed-loop ‘artificial pancreas’ systems are fast becoming a reality.

Yet, chances to learn directly from healthcare professionals about these technologies remain rare. That’s why Diabetes Technology Network Ireland (DTN IRL), in collaboration with Diabetes Ireland, is hosting a special Type 1 Diabetes Technology Information Meeting in Donegal.

✨ At this meeting, you will:
• Learn about the benefits of diabetes technology
• Explore how technology can support daily diabetes management
• Discover the range of tools available in Ireland
• Hear the latest research developments
• Get hands-on with the technology & meet company representatives

Our goal? To empower you with knowledge so you can make informed choices alongside your diabetes care team.

📍 Location: Clanree Hotel, Derry Road, Bunnagee, Letterkenny, Co. Donegal
📅 Date: Thursday, 25th September
⏰ Time: 6:15 PM

🎤 Speakers
🔹 Dr Tomás Griffin – Consultant Physician, University Hospital Galway & Honorary Senior Lecturer, University of Galway
🔹 Dr Kate Gajewska – Advocacy & Research Manager, Diabetes Ireland
🔹 + Additional speaker TBC

✅ Admission: FREE – open to all people living with Type 1 diabetes, and parents/carers of children with Type 1.

🙌 Supported by: Diabetes Ireland, Abbott, Dexcom, Medtronic, Air Liquide, Novo Nordisk, The Ireland Funds.

Diabetes Ireland Pre-Budget Submission 2026

€4M Investment Needed to begin funding the National Diabetes Strategy

Diabetes Ireland is calling on the Government to allocate €4 million in Budget 2026 to kickstart the long-overdue implementation of a National Diabetes Strategy — a commitment made in the current Programme for Government.

This funding request follows the anticipated publication of the Department of Health’s Diabetes Policy and Services Review, which is expected to recommend a five-year roadmap to improve diabetes care and outcomes nationwide.

Three priorities for 2026:
1) Provide Access to Mental Health and Psychological Support Services for People with Diabetes
2) Develop Diabetes Leadership Positions in HSE Health Regions
3) Ensure All People with a Clinical Diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes have access to Continuous Glucose Monitoring

“For the first time ever, diabetes has a place in our Programme for Government. This is a major step forward but it must be backed by action and funding, as there are many gaps to be addressed to improve diabetes care provision in Ireland” said Dr Kate Gajewska, Research & Advocacy Manager, Diabetes Ireland.

“This is a turning point. With political will and modest investment, we can transform diabetes care in Ireland and give people the tools they need to live healthy lives” she added.
