Diabetes UK Professional Conference 2025

This years DUK Professional Conference took place in Glasgow from 26 to 28 February 2025. Yet again, there was an action packed programme and our colleagues from across the Leicester Diabetes Centre were out in force showcasing all the amazing work they have been doing over the last 12 months.

Alison Northern, Implementation Lead and Julia Burdon, Education and Research Associate were in attendance and alongside launching the first ever Physical Activity professional interest network, they presented a number of conference posters which can be downloaded below.

“This years conference really shined a light on the fantastic work happening across the UK and beyond in the field of diabetes management and prevention. Amongst many key messages, it highlighted the need for us to think differently in how we support people under 40 to self-manage their type 2 diabetes; as well as, consider how best to meet the needs of women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes during pregnancy, or women with/at risk of, gestational diabetes,” Alison reflected.

Take a look at some of the posters presented at the conference that relate to DESMOND/MyDESMOND in some way:
