Become a diabetes HERO and share your story
- Do you remember where you were when you discovered you had diabetes?
- How did you feel?
- How did you receive the news?
- What did you do next?
Imagine how you might have felt if you had been able to read stories about other people in the same boat – people whose lives actually didn’t change dramatically, people who are managing their diabetes successfully and people who have lived long and healthy lives with diabetes. Would knowing this have helped you deal with the news?
Your story is unique and inspiring, and it just might reach out to someone who really needs to know they’re not alone.
If you would like to share your story, we will request your authorisation before your information is used and your story will only be used by Diabetes Australia-NSW to communicate with people with diabetes.
Please send your hero story to info@diabetesnsw.com.au
