Rhia Diabetes UK

Rhia Steele

Diagnosed age 16 in 2008.

This challenge scares me and I keep thinking ‘but what if I can’t do it?’, however with all the support from family, friends and Diabetes UK, I am determined to not let diabetes, or the problems with my legs, stop me!

Rhia was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 16 years old. Here, she tells us how she's coped since her diagnosis and some of the challenges she's faced preparing for Run26.
