Greetings, I’m Mark from the United Kingdom, and I’ve been living with type 2 diabetes since 2010. I bring passion, empathy and a strong commitment to improving the lives of those affected by the condition. I joined the BCV network because I want to support others living with the condition and advocate for better care, education and understanding.
Through personal experience and a deep understanding of the challenges people with diabetes face, I speak from a place of authenticity and compassion. My diabetes journey has given me insight into the physical, emotional and financial challenges of diabetes. I care about listening to and representing the diverse needs of people living with type 2 diabetes, and I actively support efforts that improve healthcare systems, access to resources and education.
Sharing real stories—my own and those of others—can inspire genuine change. With a strong sense of empathy and a clear voice, I work to make information accessible and connect meaningfully with others in the diabetes community. For me, this is about more than awareness—it’s about action, respect and empowerment.
