Diabetes 101

About us…

Team Diabetes 101 is a UK based group of multidisciplinary diabetes specialists who came together in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The creators were Prof Partha Kar, Bethany Kelly and Amanda Epps who then connected with other HCP's with a strong social media presence.

The vision was to provide short term support via twitter for the the diabetes online community in response to COVID-19. This was through signposting to accredited information and delivering education with some fun along the way! The team tried to offer distractions from the quickly escalating anxiety within the community in this new unknown situation. Diabetes 101 soon evolved into something quite special…
