Global invitation

Dealing with diabetes for young people and their families can be overwhelming. Building a positive support network is a great way to cope with the disease. Your diabetes care team, family and friends are an incredible source of support, but there are times when you want to communicate with other people affected by diabetes to discuss everyday tactics for diabetes management and care.

As part of the DAWN Youth world-wide initiative to find new ways to support children and young people in coping with diabetes, we invite people with diabetes, caretakers, diabetes professionals and anyone actively dealing with the condition to share your perspective.

Please share your experience and get inspired and motivated from getting insights from others in the same situation as you from other parts in the world. Key topics we invite you to write about:

• Family relations
• Coping and self-management
• Network and friends
• Diabetes at school
• Support in the health care team
