Physical activity professionals and diabetes specialists from the Leicester Diabetes Centre (LDC) and the University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust have established a new Diabetes UK (DUK) Professional Interest Network (PIN) group. The main aim of this group is to bring people together who are interested in physical activity and its impact on the self-management of type 2 diabetes (T2D).
The new PIN group will hold its inaugural meeting at the Diabetes UK conference in February 2025, taking place at the SEC in Glasgow. On Friday 28 February, from 13:10 to 14:10, participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences of how physical activity can support people in managing T2D. The session theme is “From brief advice to exercise on referral: evidence-based approaches to promoting physical activity and where to find them”.
