This website for children from Roche Diabetes Care contains some great interactive tools to help you and your family learn more about diabetes and encourage you to get more involved.  

You can also post messages to other young people with diabetes on our message boards, and we will update you regularly with stories and competitions.

Roche are delighted to be one of the funding partners for the SWEET project.  SWEET stands for better control in paediatric and adolescent diabetes in the EU, working to create Centres of Reference. It will run from 2008 to 2010. 

SWEET aims to enhance health and quality of life of children and young people affected by type 1 and type 2 diabetes in Europe by improving secondary prevention, early diagnosis and control and effective management. 

 If you're under 16:

• Please ask for permission from your parent or guardian before taking part in any online activities or competitions
• Never give any personal details about yourself or your friends (such as which school you go to, your surname, home address, telephone numbers or email address).

It is important to make sure your parent/guardian or teacher knows when you are surfing the web.  If you get any e-mails from someone you don’t know, or that are rude or make you feel uncomfortable, don't reply but make sure you tell a responsible adult straight away.  Don’t worry as it's not your fault that somebody has sent this to you.
