Happy World Diabetes Day

Author: Richmond American University London

One of our visiting students, Henry, explains the importance of World Diabetes Day for him.

November 14th is World Diabetes Day.

Stanford University conducted a study which concluded people with Type 1 diabetes tend to make an average of 180 extra decisions every day.

As a student with type 1 diabetes, it is constantly on my mind, in class, on the train, while asleep. As time moves on though things get easier. I get more used to it, technology advances (in the world of Insulin Pumps, Constant Glucose Monitors, etc.), I am very fortunate to have accommodations in class that help to make my classroom experience a bit better, and many very smart people are working on a cure all over the world.

I choose to not be sad on a day like World Diabetes Day but rather celebrate how far myself and the rest of the global diabetic community has come.

You can learn more about diabetes and type 1 diabetes at jdrf.org.uk/ or www.diabetes.org.uk/.

Happy World Diabetes Day.
