Take part in our survey and meetings Diabetes UK Scotland is taking a lead in the consultation process. You can use our online survey form, and we are holding meetings across the country to encourage people living with diabetes to respond to the consultation. Upcoming meetings Black and Minority Ethnic Communities - 8 July, Fife. Students and diabetes - 9 July, Glasgow. Lanarkshire - 5 August, Wishaw. Responding to the challenges of diabetes "Diabetes is changing in Scotland," said Jane-Claire Judson, Director of Diabetes UK Scotland. "Increasing numbers of people are being diagnosed earlier in life; this means that getting it right at diagnosis or when complications develop will become ever more important. "Since 2002, Scotland has responded to the challenges of diabetes through, first, the Scottish Diabetes Framework and then the Diabetes Action Plan. Better Diabetes Care is an opportunity to bring this work fully up to date. Diabetes UK Scotland will be consulting widely across Scotland about the direction that diabetes services should take in Scotland." The next step The results of the consultation process will be fed in to the development of a new action plan for diabetes in Scotland. Diabetes UK
