My life – for young people with diabetes

Welcome to our section for younger people with diabetes. Choose from the sites below, for children, teenagers and young adults.

(We also have colouring-in sheets to help you teach under-fives about their diabetes.)

Learn all about diabetes in a fun way – play our game, enter our competition, read our cartoons and stories, and meet other kids your own age who know exactly what you're going through.

 

Find out about growing up with diabetes, and all the different things you do as you get older – how to deal with relationships, going out, and living your life. Meet celebs with diabetes, plus people just like you – and if you share your diabetes story you could win a prize.

 

How to manage your diabetes as a young adult, moving away from home, taking control of your own life. Tips on working, studying and travelling without letting diabetes hold you back.
