HILLINGDON families with a child or young person living with diabetes can tap into a new hospital resource.

The Children and Young People with Diabetes team at Hillingdon Hospital have posted a series of videos, to provide information and reassurance to them.

The videos cover all aspects of diabetes, from the initial diagnosis and the impact it has on a family, to managing the condition daily, school life and even how families can get involved in fund-raising.
