Founded in 1934 as The Diabetic Association (by H. G. Wells and Dr R. D. Lawrence), the organisation has since had two name changes - in 1954 to The British Diabetic Association and again in 2000 to Diabetes UK.

The membership of over 180K comprises people with diabetes, their carers and healthcare professionals.

Diabetes UK's first voluntary group was set up in 1939 - 350 are now spread out across the UK. There are also local offices across England and national offices in Northern Ireland, Scotland & Wales. They run conferences for their volunteers and healthcare professionals in the field of diabetes.

Diabetes UK campaigns for improvements in the care and treatment of people with diabetes.

The charity has been running care holidays since the 1930s for children. Families and adult holidays have been introduced since. The holidays aim to provide support and advice in a fun surrounding.[1]

In 1993, a counselling line for patients, family and friends was launched, the Careline is contactable by a lo-call number, email and post.[2]
