At school loads of people know I that I have diabetes but they have no idea what diabetes is or what I have to go through everyday. Some people ask me what my pump is when I am getting changed for PE, I also get people say that my pump is a phone too. It can be really hard to explain to people what diabetes is and what your pump is because most of the time they don't understand or they don't want to listen to you explain it to them. Some times it can make you feel upset and down when people say diabetes is easy to coup with everyday, the truth is they have no idea what we have to go through. It can also be upsetting when you have a day off school because you are unwell because of your levels or ketones and then when you go to school the next day they say you were skiving off school when actually you were really unwell. If we made people more aware of diabetes some of these things wouldn't happen. Also people would be able to help other people with diabetes more if they new more about it.
So what can you do to make people more aware of diabetes and raise money? You could do a sponsored run or walk, you could hand out leaflets about diabetes, you could do a cake sale, you could have a typeonese day at school, there are so many ways you could raise awareness and money for diabetes.
Please do whatever you can to raise money and make people more aware of diabetes. If everyone works together we can make a massive difference.
