Our YouTube channel GSD Screen, has many videos dedicated to informing and providing support to those affected by GSD.
The channel features videos from our Winter Seasons 2021 and 2022 including presentations from medical professionals and patients’ stories. The channel also has videos on GSDs, courses, meetings and conferences, and covering some of our fundraising events. Several of the GSDs have their own playlists. We also link to other channels which we think will be of interest.

Glycogen Storage Disease
This group is for all those that are affected, or have family that are affected by Glycogen Storage Disease.
GSD Type 1a Social Media
Glycogen Storage Disease information, sharing, and support more specifically for type 1a. This is a closed group in an effort to maintain a safe, private space for discussion.
GSD Type 1b Social Media

These general and GSD1a & b facebook groups are not linked to or run by AGSD-UK
Remember, these groups are not run by medical professionals, but it can be very helpful in swapping experiences with other people affected by GSD. However, take care not to treat someone’s opinion as scientific fact.
