Support from Diabetes UK.
We have had a great deal of support throughout the year from staff at Diabetes UK Head Office. We thank them all and particularly thank Roz Rosenblatt, Alexis Ferry and Liz Roe for their help and putting up with us. Without the help from them and their colleagues, we would have been a lot less effective.
