Hi John,
Happy new year from everyone here at Diabetes UK - we hope you were able to relax and recharge during the festive break!
In 2026, we're looking forward to making more positive steps for people affected by diabetes, as we campaign together, provide support and fund more life-changing research.
In fact, we're not even a month into the year yet but we already have a huge research announcement to share with you.
Our ELSA study has shown that screening children for type 1 diabetes works, which means spotting the condition before symptoms appear, which gives families vital time to prepare, avoid emergencies, and access treatments that can delay the need for insulin.
Together, we're bringing the UK closer to making early type 1 diabetes detection a reality for every family.
