The Diabetic Survivor
My story
Diaversary 1997
Hello there! I’m a Type 1 visual designer, diagnosed 27 years ago. I’m into pump therapy, currently using a commercial hybrid closed loop with a Medtronic 780G and Guardian 4 sensors (occasionally going back to Freestyle Libre 2). Looping has been a life-changer 😀
Why the diabetic survivor?
Many, many years ago I had a blog where I posted advice to people with diabetes like me who were looking to travel... (it never became a truly useful blog).
I am an avid internet user, and during 2018 I created the Instagram account @thediabeticsurvivor to raise diabetes awareness using design to connect with, raise questions, and empower the diabetes community.
The whole idea behind is very simple: bring some joy and happiness to the diabetes community touching certain aspects of the 'diabetes world'.
