National Network

This meeting is solely face to face

The interface between diabetes and eating disorders is growing rapidly. Intensification of diabetes management has improved outcomes for people living with diabetes but has brought with it an increased awareness of disordered eating and insulin restriction.

The National Children & Young People’s Type 1 Diabetes and Difficulties/Disorders of Eating Network has joined the previous National Type 1 Diabetes and Eating Disorders Conference to create the UK Professional Conference on Eating Disorders and Diabetes (UKPCEDD)

The conference will offer stimulating insights into cutting edge developments and clinical controversies, with opportunities for clinicians from diabetes and eating disorders to meet and network. For the first time, the conference will cover both adults and children. A unique feature is the T1DE 101 workshop, which provides an introduction for those new to the field.

Conference theme: Learning Together: Insights from Paediatric and Adult Services
📍 Venue: The Slate, University of Warwick, Coventry 📅 Date: Tuesday, 10th June 2025
