Organised football and dance events for young people with diabetes

Around U Days were designed especially for young people living with diabetes. They are held in cities around the UK and focus either on football or dance.

The reason Bayer Diabetes Care created Around U Sports and Dance Days was to show you that even though you may have diabetes, it needn’t spoil your fun. And the Around U Days are a chance for you to get information and share advice in a fun and active way with people the same age.

There are two types of Around U Days, football or dance. In the past the football days have been held at famous clubs like Liverpool, Aston Villa and West Ham. The dance days have been hosted by the Pineapple Dance Studios in London, with 60 young people getting the chance to take part.

Around U Sports Days are held every year during the summer holidays. If there is an event taking place in your area, your Diabetes Specialist Nurse will speak to you about the event and ask if you want to take part. They will then give you, and your parents, a form to fill in and send away to Bayer. A few weeks later you will hear if you have a place – it’s that simple.
