My diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in 2023 led me to become a Blue Circle Voice advocate. I aim to tell the world that there is life after a diabetes diagnosis. As a physician, I strive to disseminate scientific knowledge and information on diabetes management and prevention to people with diabetes and the public. I also advocate for access to care and support from the stakeholders, especially in lower-income countries such as my home country, the Philippines. By sharing my story of hope and healing, I can inspire others like me and younger children with type 1 diabetes, and emphasise the importance of community support in our journey.
