North Somerset Parent Carers would like to invite parent carers to attend training on Diabetes and Insulin awareness with trainers from Edify Training. This is applicable for parents who would like to be aware of the signs and symptoms to be aware of, or if your child has been diagnosed with Diabetes and would like further information. Professionals working with children are also welcome to complete this training.

Attending delegates will gain significant insight into the nature of diabetes, its causes, symptoms, and the difficulties that it can pose for everyday life. They will learn about the warning signs for “hypo” / “hyper” events and how to best aid persons to manage the condition.
