The Institute of Cancer Research have started a new initiative called ICR Publish: Clinical Trials Results Live - a series of free webinars sharing clinical trial results with a public audience.

It's Diabetes Week (8-15 June) - with this year's theme 'Let's change how we talk about diabetes' as part of the Strike Out Stigma message.

Eight out of 10 people living with diabetes say they’ve faced negative attitudes because of their diabetes - people passing judgement, making sweeping statements, or blaming and shaming people living with diabetes.
