Hypo Awareness Week 2026 has been funded by Roche, Ascensia and Sanofi which has had no input into the campaign's arrangements or content. We anticipate that the campaign will receive further sponsorship from pharmaceutical companies and medical technology companies. Once confirmed it will be added to the relevant pages of the Hypo Awareness Week website and Hypo Awareness Week promotional materials, where appropriate.

Oxford University Hospitals

In collaboration with different companies involved with diabetes care, Oxford University Hospitals have been able to share resource materials to members of staff and the public who attended, discussed, asked them questions about hypoglycaemia and its management. To make the event more fun, they adapted the Snakes and Ladders game and posted it up in their diabetes stands during the week. All staff and the public who participated found it really fun and informative. What was most appreciated was the 1:1 discussion they had with them regarding the topic that they landed on in the game. They focused on two things this year. One being continuing the information dissemination regarding their trusts hypoglacemia management S.T.A.R. approach that they had launched last HAW 2017. No Lipo…No Hypo! Making patients and staff aware of the benefits of preventing lipohypertrophy that will definitely help prevent episodes of hypoglycaemia. Explaining that insulin doses will mostly be absorbed if being injected into a subcutaneous area without lipo (lumps). This will then establish the correct insulin requirement a patient needs.
