Aileen was diagnosed with diabetes over 37 years ago at age 10 years. In June, and has been sharing her journey with us that has been taking her only as far as Tallaght Hospital. Her positive attitude, in spite of it causes me to have huge admiration for her.

Our fourth Thriveabetes conference, on Saturday 19th October in Dublin was, yet again, a resounding success. Thriveabetes is a very unique event in Ireland as it’s organized completely by people living with type 1 diabetes and completely by volunteers who are passionate about making it happen. It is also the people with diabetes who give up their Saturday and their money to attend, that makes Thriveabetes so special.

Thriveabetes would not be possible without our exhibitors and sponsors. We have this page dedicated to them as a thank you but also to give you an opportunity to get to know the businesses and organisations who support us.
