The day it all changed
Being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as an adult is life changing—there’s before and after.
Suddenly, nothing is automatic. Every meal, movement, and moment comes with decisions. Type 1 diabetes is 24/7, with no breaks, no days off. It follows you into sleep, stress, celebrations, and quiet moments.
You grieve the ease you once had while learning to manage something invisible yet relentless. Life keeps going—but now with constant vigilance.
It’s exhausting. It’s life-changing. And it reveals a strength you never asked for, but carry every day.
I'm walking for a world without type 1 diabetes this March!
I'm joining the world's largest type 1 diabetes (T1D) fundraising event virtually this March! That means I'm walking 140,000 steps from 1-31 March 2026 for the 140,000+ Australians living with T1D.
Why? To help raise $1.1 million for life-changing T1D research, and ultimately turn type 1 into type NONE.
T1D can strike anyone at any time, and 8 Australians are diagnosed every day. Diagnosis means a 24/7 fight with no break, and facing an extra 180 decisions a day to remain safe and healthy.
Please support my walk today.
