Diabetes & Ageing; can we look forward to old age with confidence, or fear?

Did you know:

• average life expectancy and the prevalence of diabetes are rising
• people with diabetes often go into care homes at younger ages than others

• about 1/5th of adults in hospital at any time have diabetes
• about 25% of people living in care homes have diabetes
• quality of life, comfort and dignity are the most important factors say Alan Sinclair and Ahmed Abdelhafiz.

Join us for an eye-opening evening where we delve into the crucial relationship between diabetes and getting older, and discuss what matters to us as we age.

Learn more about how diabetes can affect ageing and how ageing and frailty can affect our diabetes, all the factors that can make this very complicated.... and the importance of trust and reliability.

Coordination and effective relationships between the NHS and care services are essential here in maintaining our dignity and comfort, and allowing our own expertise to be valued.

This is a unique opportunity to gain insights from renowned experts in the field, and learn too about what matters to us.

This is a great chance to learn more, expand your understanding and knowledge and grow in determination and confidence about your future. We hope this discussion will have far reaching positive effects, in Sheffield and nationally.
