This Christmas bring hope to Victorians living with diabetes

Right now, more than 13,200 children and adolescents in Australia live with type 1 diabetes. Worryingly, 1 in 3 were dangerously sick at diagnosis.

Thanks to your support, ground-breaking research is showing that we can screen children for type 1 diabetes before symptoms appear, avoiding an emergency diagnosis. This Christmas, our goal is to ensure more people living with diabetes will have access to a timely diagnosis, and the education, diabetes support and technologies they need.

Here, Blair Gould, a young diabetes advocate shares his story and the challenges he has faced by living in rural Victoria.
