What are the positives of Type One Diabetes? - DIABETES AWARE |

What have you learnt from having Diabetes? Are you maybe looking after someone with Type One or simply learning about the condition from this video? As part of Diabetes Awareness Week, I wanted to focus on the positives of Diabetes. Too often we see and experience the difficulties of Type One and it can be hard to see the good. As a Diabetic of 12 years, I have struggled for many years with my condition and along with that I have struggled too with mental illness. For the first time in my life, I can stand here and say I am a confident and proud Diabetic. Through psychology and Our Lives, Our Voices I have found strength and hope. I have met incredible people, that you will see in this video, who have helped me in not feeling alone and encouraged me.
If you are a Diabetic, please know you are not alone. Seek out help and support whether that be through friends, family, psychology/counselling or support groups. The hope for this channel is to spread awareness about Diabetes and Mental Health, but to also allow people to come for advice or support. I felt alone for majority of my life with Diabetes, but today I know that I am not. No one should feel or go through chronic illness alone. You are doing incredible and you are amazing and strong! ❤️
