Have you ever wanted to sit face to face with diabetes health care professionals outside of a hospital setting to learn more about your diabetes? Diabetes Ireland is delighted to offer you this opportunity. We have gathered professionals from a variety of fields in the area of Type 2 diabetes to answer YOUR questions.

To do this, join us in the Pillo Hotel, Ashbourne, Co Meath on 17^Th May from 7-9pm

The topics for discussion are:

• “The Type 2 Medications Basket; Understanding the role of the medications I take”
  Dr Ora Kgosidialwa, Specialist Registrar, Our Lady’s Hospital ,Navan,Co Meath

• “The Food Pyramid, The role of Healthy Eating in Diabetes self-management”

Ms Olive Tully, Senior Community Dietitian in Diabetes, HSE North East

• “Understanding my numbers; why blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels are so important”

Ms Moira Haran, Community Nurse Specialist, HSE North East

• “Tips for self-management of your feet”

Ms Siobhan Kenny, Community Podiatrist, Primary Care services

You and fellow attendees will be divided into small groups (no more than 12) in a round table setting. Our experts will move from table to table in rotation for 20 minute Q&A sessions. This should allow for easy conversation and give you the opportunity to ask them anything you like about your diabetes, or just listen and learn from other questions. There will be light refreshments available at 8pm.

To avail of this invaluable opportunity, register today for either meeting by completing the enclosed form, online at https://www.diabetes.ie/event/managing-my-type-2-effectively/
