Charities in this area will be using the week to encourage more people to get support for the condition, as well as encourage people to take steps to avoid, or control the condition. RNIB Connect Radio’s Allan Russell spoke to Laura MacPherson and Fiona Kane from Diabetes Scotland. If you’d like more info, call 0141 212 8710 Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Email: helpline.scotland@diabetes.org.uk Our dedicated diabetes helpline is for everyone with diabetes, their family or friends, and people who are worried they might be at risk. Call our confidential helpline to talk to our highly trained advisors – they have counselling skills and an extensive knowledge of diabetes. They can provide information about the condition, take the time to talk things through and explore emotional, social, psychological or practical difficulties.
