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.

A healthy eating and physical activity programme created with, and for, people of African and Caribbean heritage living with type 2 diabetes in London is now seeking volunteers to test its effectiveness around the UK.

University of Leicester, Leicester’s hospitals and Loughborough University receive £11m funding for NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre.
