I am privileged and delighted to have been a member of Knuston England for more than twenty years and Knuston Ireland since its inauguration in 2015. Each year Knuston seems as fresh as ever and witnessing the positive effects it has on the lives of diabetes health carers and in turn the lives of their patients bears testimony to the transformative power of the course.
