Diabetes doesn’t

define me

I am not a “diabetic”. I have

type 1 diabetes, but that is

just a part of me.

Myth busted!

The fact is a diabetic

can look like anyone at all.

Praise the pump!

Since starting pumping, my

readings have dropped from

the high 8s to 7!

Medical alert

In the last 12 months I’ve had a

tattoo on my wrist stating that

I have diabetes type 1.

Ride the swings

No matter how many lows or how

many highs, we have to do our best.

• Ana Higuera

Worth more

As a diabetes educator, I’m

horrified by colleagues who

define a person’s worth

by their HbA1c.

• Michelle Robins

Live it up

Diabetes is a chronic disease

that you need to care for and

do the best you can –

and live your life!
