Diabetes Week is an annual nationwide event and will see a massive range of community events, challenges, races and walks and much more.
This year’s theme is all about celebrating you!
Living with diabetes is no easy feat, whether it’s having to keep a constant eye on your blood sugar, being able to eat your favourite foods or remembering to take your daily amount of insulin. At times these things may seem habitual, while at other times they may be challenging, but each day you’re doing them and that’s something worth talking about
We want to hear your inspiring stories about living with diabetes, and we’ll be picking our favourites to be featured across the website.
Perhaps you took on the ultimate challenge and didn’t let your condition hold you back, or maybe you’ve done something slightly more abstract and channelled your diabetes creatively.
Whatever it is, it’s time to put a stop to those myths flying around and show people what living with diabetes is really all about!
