Diabetes By Design Ltd

One in four adults experiences diabetes burnout, so why do we feel so alone when it happens? Coming to terms with a chronic illness, especially an invisible one like type 1 diabetes, is a journey. Learning about all the elements that go into managing a new life long condition whilst also bringing your friends and family along with you can cause a lot of overwhelm, frustration and isolation. This is where Companion Cards come in. Written in plain English with engaging illustrations and grounded in medical truth, the toolkit aims to inform, inspire and ignite new conversations around this often misunderstood disease. Our eye-catching toolkit invites people impacted by type 1 diabetes, their healthcare team and loved ones to break down barriers and connect - in a way that is clear, medically accurate, and (no less importantly) fun.
