”I thought that I may have been refused as I have type 1 diabetes..”<\/h4>\n

Estephany is a young girl supported by the program in Guatemala. She wanted to share her story to encourage younger children living with diabetes:<\/p>\n

”My name is Estephany and I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in June, 2009.<\/p>\n

At the time I was studying 5th grade at school. \u00a0My teachers and classmates were all worried about me as I was absent from school and supported me following my diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Throughout high school I never faced discrimination and was able to attend school camp with my friends.\u00a0 Everyone, including my friends were very encouraging and thought I was brave injecting myself and regularly testing my blood glucose level.<\/p>\n

When I decided to study nursing I thought that I may have been refused as I have type 1 diabetes, however, this was not a problem, and I am enjoying the course.<\/p>\n

I am so thankful to have all these excellent people to help, including my diabetes team.<\/p>\n

I can do anything!”<\/p>\n

Support from people like you has helped brighten the world of\u00a0Estephany, there are many more young people that still need our help, join us and donate now.<\/a><\/p>\n
