    Join Learning Zone and we’ll be here for you wherever and whenever you need us. You can dip in and out when you like and easily pick back up where you left off. Whether you want to learn something new, track your emotional wellbeing or keep a record of your yearly diabetes health checks - we can help.

    What’s more, we’ll email you with regular updates, new recommendations and support for completing courses – so you know we’re always by your side. 

    “I like that the information is broken up with questions in between. It helps to keep focus and it’s a good balance between questions and information.”
    Lola, who lives with type 1 diabetes
    "It [my Learning Zone] is all geared around type 2 which is useful. I’m not receiving information I don’t necessarily need. It's bitesize and manageable.”
    Nimesh, who lives with type 2 diabetes
    “Sometimes I feel like diabetes takes up too much of my life as it is, and diabetes doesn’t deserve any more of my time, effort or energy. I like having it separate from my life and putting it in its place. I like to give it the time when I want to give it the time.”
    Naomi, who lives with type 1 diabetes

    "Learning Zone is a very worthwhile resource which has resulted from extensive research, involving a diverse range of people with diabetes. The design is imaginative, the editorial content gives support contact details and tips, and the cleverest part is the use of vlogs."

    "I would highly recommend Learning Zone. It's very innovative use of content provides a truly person-centred user experience. If the aim of patient information is to support patients through a journey, this is the most likely resource to do that that I've seen in a long time."
