ahh i'm so excited about this diabetes ambassador thing... my agenda will be:
LESS conflation of t1 and t2 diabetes in media, research, govt policy
MORE resources & support for t1 teenagers and young adults transitioning from pediatric to adult care
MORE t1 specific support networks & workshops
MUCH MORE focus of mental and emotional aspects of diabetic management!!!
REDUCING stigma of t1 & t2 diabetes and increased public exposure & education of differences between t1 & t2
MORE financial assistance from govt (eg subsidised/free test strips, cheaper insulin, easier access to health professionals)
