Children's Diabetes

The Children's Diabetes service is a team of doctors, nurses, dietitians and clinical psychologists, as well as play therapists and youth workers. Each team member helps in a different way.


Doctors

Our doctors are paediatricians who specialise in diabetes. They will guide your treatment and make sure that you are well supported with your diabetes. They may examine you in clinics and check for problems associated with diabetes.


Paediatric diabetes specialist nurses

These are children’s nurses who specialise in diabetes. They will support you to learn about diabetes through regular contact.


Dietitians

Dietitians are specially trained in food and nutrition, and work with you and your family to help you make the right food choices and live a more active lifestyle.


Clinical psychologists

Clinical psychologists can support children and their parents cope with the diagnosis of diabetes.


Support team

We have a support team of practitioners, youth workers and play specialists to help educate and care for children and their families about diabetes. 

Digibete app

Digibete is an NHS-approved app > designed to help you manage your own or your child's diabetes. 

It offers a variety of resources, including information from training sessions, as well as videos, quizzes and other materials created by Digibetes. 

We use the app to invite you to events hosted by our youth team, play workers and dietitians, providing opportunities for you to connect other families living with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.
