Diabetes UK is the largest organisation in the UK working for people with diabetes, funding research, campaigning and helping people live with the condition. Their mission is to improve the lives of people with diabetes and to work towards a future without diabetes. The site has lots of information, recepies, a newsletter, Balance magazine, a helpline and lists of local support groups.

Diabetes UK has nearly 400 groups throughout the UK, so you should be able to find one near you. These groups offer people living with diabetes a chance to meet and share experiences with others. They are all run by volunteers and typically meet on a monthly basis often with a speaker on a topic like diet or exercise. As well providing support and information, voluntary groups also get involved in fundraising, campaigning to improve local diabetes services, planning social events and outings and running awareness-raising activities. There are also some specialist groups - for parents, children and young people with diabetes.
