Will you tell us about your access to food during the pandemic?
Since the beginning of lockdown, lots of you have told us that you've been finding it difficult to buy the food you need to stay healthy and manage your diabetes. We've been raising your concerns to the UK government and to supermarkets, but we need to know whether you're still facing challenges getting the food you need. Will you answer a couple of questions about your experiences buying food to help us understand what more needs to be done?
