Good luck!

Thank you for taking our Growing Up With Type 1 Diabetes Course. We hope this might have answered some of the questions you had. You should now feel much more confident about managing your diabetes and we hope you have taken away from the course the knowledge that having diabetes needn’t stop you from leading a normal life and doing whatever you want to do. 

We’d appreciate it if you could complete the post-course questionnaire to let us know what you think of the course. If you have any suggestions or complaints, we’d love to hear them – this will help us to improve the course in future! 

We would like to acknowledge the original work done by Jacqui Charlton and Edinburgh Napier University in the conception and creation of material used in the module to support young people with Type 1 diabetes. You can find out more about Jacqui by clicking here.

We have a number of other courses available for people with type 1 diabetes that are available via the eLearning homepage. These include:
