Happy 5th Diaversary to me!
Five years ago today, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. It is a life-changing condition that can be relentless and overwhelming but one which has introduced me to one of the strongest and most supportive communities imaginable.
To think that after being rushed through A&E, 5 years later I would be standing in the House of Commons advocating for better care, access to pumps and screening programmes. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved so far and determined to keep pushing for more.
To anyone newly diagnosed, or those who have been living with Type 1 for years: keep strong. We can do this together.
