Meet Isabelle who is a swimmer and has type 1 diabetes

Every young person with type 1 diabetes requires an individual health care plan (IHCP) for school. As a team we have decided to use the nationally approved Individual Health Care Plans (school care plans) produced by Digibete. 

The DiaMEETes will run in-person at UCLH on Tuesday 30th May from 1pm-4pm for children under the UCLH diabetes team, aged 9-11. It will offer opportunities to meet other young people of a similar age, thinking together about their strengths and resources, and also challenges around diabetes, in fun and creative ways, using games, arts & crafts. 

The Lucy Project is a research project supporting young people and their families at University College London Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. It is a drop-in service and provides information, a space to talk, psychological support and treatment, and referral to other services and organisations.
