Hi there!,

Type 1 Diabetes Network LogoWe are delighted to be presenting, together with DA-Vic, an event for and by people with Type 1 diabetes in Melbourne next month. 

We will hear from a health psychologist about the latest research into how people balance the medical side of managing diabetes with the emotional aspects, and learn some practical strategies that we can all try when the going gets tough (or just dull!). 


Then, it will be my turn - to share with you some tricks I have learnt from my own years of living with diabetes.  I am also looking forward to sharing with you the most creative and interesting things I have learnt from the thousands of people of all shapes and sizes who have come through the 'doors' of Reality Check in the last 9 and a half years!

I hope you can join us on 28th July.
 
Cheers,
Kate

Reminder:
Tell us about growing up with Diabetes?

 
As featured in Yada Yada newsletter last week, we have been commissioned to do a survey about being a teenager and that the tricky time of diabetes (and life!) known as 'transition'. 

If you had diabetes when you were around 16-20, or are that age now, we'd love your help.

The survey takes just 5-10 minutes.
