Having completed 26 years in the world of retail I joined NHS Kent and Medway in 2020. I’m currently placed as a Diabetes Project Manager where I lead on the NHS Type 2 Path to Remission, Type 2 Diabetes in the Young and the National Diabetes Prevention Programme on behalf of the ICB, as well as contributing to various other projects within diabetes, respiratory and long Covid workstreams. I never tire of the irony my role places me in as I have type 1 diabetes and, perhaps more than others, understand the relentless nature of diabetes – each and every day. With 20 years now of dependency on insulin, I try to use my personal experiences of living with diabetes and its complications and integrate these, where appropriate, into my role or any decision making processes.
