Once you are in the transition clinic we will invite you to a session in the summer holidays to meet some of the other young people who are going through a similar situation and also the young adults’ diabetes team, in a social environment.
We often do activities such as crazy golf and eating out on this day and it is designed to help you gain some independence and learn more about being an adult with diabetes. Previous attendees have always said they enjoyed this even though it can be quite daunting to go along at first for some young people. Sometimes it’s good to meet people your age who know what it’s like to have diabetes.
