A national project lead by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), Leicester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), and Leicester Diabetes Centre (LDC) is aiming to improve services for those with Type 2 Diabetes.
Having early onset of Type 2 Diabetes can be a very lonely place and sometimes, it can have a big impact on people’s personal and professional life.
This is why the M3 project have started a support network to help connect people with the condition and at same time gain expert advice and knowledge. Each session will be held monthly aiming to be relaxed, informative and fun.
These hubs also allow participants to be involved with the research element of M3 where participants have the chance to help shape services through their input to vital questions in creating the best accessible service.
The next upcoming session is 21 February 2022 at 6.30pm where they will be covering the topic of mental health in relation to Diabetes followed by some light stretching and breathing exercises.
