Diabetes UK is organising a ground breaking event bringing together national and international academics as well as policy makers to discuss and decide future research priorities into the prevention of Type 2 diabetes.

We need people with diabetes and at risk of diabetes to bring their expertise of living with Type 2 diabetes.

Can you help?

- Are you at risk of Type 2 diabetes?
- Have you been newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes?
- Have you been living with Type 2 diabetes for over 3 years?

If the answer is yes to any of the above, we would like you to take part in shaping the future of research into how to prevent Type 2 diabetes.

If you are interested in being involved in this event or would like some more information, please contact the User Involvement team on 020 7424 1000 or email user.involvement@diabetes.org.uk

Closing date 15 September 2008

Take the two minute test and see if you are at risk from Type 2 diabetes.
