Beth and Ellen host ‘Diabestie Night Out’: Duo are viral sensations on TikTok for fun content about Type 1 diabetes
The ‘Diabetic Duo’, two best friends from Banbridge who became viral sensations on TikTok for creating fun content relating to their Type 1 diabetes, are planning a unique event in Belfast next weekend.
On Saturday November 15 Beth McDaniel and Ellen Watson will be hosting their very first ‘Diabestie Night Out’.
This follows the success of their ‘Diabestie Day Out’ for kids event last year for World Diabetes Day.
The girls are inviting Type 1 diabetics aged 18+ as well as parents of those with Type 1 diabetes, to celebrate the evening together in a fun ‘night out’ setting, something that they say has never been done before in Northern Ireland.
They said: “The goal is to, firstly, mark World Diabetes Day in our own fun way … and, most importantly, to provide Type 1 diabetics (young adults specifically) an opportunity to mingle with diabetics their own age.
“We are delighted to be offering an evening of celebration and light-hearted fun, with … Diabetic Duo themed cocktails and mocktails (low sugar option); diabetic dancing; selfie station; games and giveaways ...”.
The ‘Diabestie Night Out’ will take place at Haymarket, Belfast, on Saturday, November 15, from 7pm to 10pm.
