Northern Ireland team offers diabetes support and information to local communities through their Live Well Hubs. These are currently available in Bangor, Belfast, Ballymena and Lisburn. The Live Well Hubs provide members of the local community with a one-stop shop for diabetes-related information, advice, and support from both local healthcare professionals and members of our Northern Ireland team. Here you’ll also have the opportunity to connect and share experiences with other people living with diabetes in the area.
