Many of you will know already that I'm up to my armpits involved with a type 1 diabetes conference called Thriveabetes and so for the next couple of weeks that's where you can find me. But for the benefit of my new readers and followers - let me catch you up:-) Thriveabetes came about because myself and a few others recognised a need for more that just a diabetes conference. We wanted a space where we could learn something new but also to spend a day with others just like us. We place extremely high value on learning from our diabetes peers and their support.

Our mission is to entice knowledgeable speakers who really know how to connect with their audience and who get it! A lot of our speakers live the life of a person with diabetes too. And to allow for people to hang out and form friendships as much as possible.

Thriveabetes will take place on Saturday, October 1st 2016 in The Killashee House Hotel, Naas, Co. Kildare. The event has sold out but we do have a waitlist up and running through Eventbrite for any cancellations that may arise.
