Breakthrough T1D Discovery Day

Breakthrough T1D are bringing their Discovery Day to Hibernian Football Club on Sunday 29 November, from 9.30am to 1pm. It's part of a series of events the charity runs across the UK and online, free to attend, for people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes or living with the condition. It's built for individuals, families, healthcare professionals and anyone connected to T1D, and the morning mixes speaker sessions, peer support and a technology exhibition.

The speaker sessions bring together scientists, diabetes specialists and people living with the condition to talk about research, wellbeing and technology. Between those, there are peer-support sessions for sharing experience with others who get it. Running alongside the talks is an all-day technology exhibition where you can get hands-on with devices and speak to people from companies like Dexcom, Medtronic, Insulet and Abbott. Supervised children's entertainment is provided, so it's a family-friendly morning rather than one you have to leave the kids at home for.

Breakthrough T1D is a funder of T1D research, and the Bukhman Foundation supports the programme. Any donations made at registration go towards continuing that work. It's free to attend, with donations welcome, and runs from 9.30am to 1pm at Hibernian Football Club, Easter Road Stadium, 12 Albion Place, Edinburgh, EH7 5QG.
