Diabetes Week 2014 – 8th to 14th June
Diabetes UK is holding its annual diabetes awareness week between Saturday 8th of June and Sunday the 14th of June to help raise awareness for diabetes and fundraising.
The theme of Diabetes Week this year is ‘I CAN’ which is to celebrate the things that people living with diabetes are able to achieve. The aim is for people with diabetes to share their stories of the challenges that they have overcome and achievements.
What Diabetes UK says about Diabetes Week:
When things have got tough, what have been the things you can do to get through it? What will you never let diabetes stop you from doing? Or if you support someone with diabetes, how do you help them along the way?
From Saturday the 8th of June to Sunday the 14th of June, Diabetes UK is inviting people to share their stories of courage and hope in the face of diabetes. Through social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #ican, Diabetes UK want to hear your stories and don’t forget to tag @diabetesuk.
