"The key to good diabetes management – whatever the type – is you. Of course your healthcare team are there for support, but they spend a few hours a year with you at most. The potential benefits are huge. So being able to access the tools you need to take control of your own condition is key. To do that, you need information – the most accurate, up-to-date information – at your fingertips. And that’s exactly what we aim to provide with our hub."
