WE WANT South Wales Argus readers who have been affected by diabetes to help us share their practical top tips on living with the condition.
We are gathering these to write the first book for people living with diabetes, written by people with diabetes.
It is called ‘100 things I wish I’d known about living with diabetes’ and will be a book available for free.
Whether you have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, or live with someone who does, there will be everyday challenges that you have to overcome.
Sharing your tips could help someone who is struggling with their diabetes.
We’re looking for your advice on topics including travelling and holidays; driving; sex and relationships; diet and fitness; school or work; or family – including raising children with Type 1 diabetes.
We’re looking for one or two sentences that offer helpful everyday solutions as opposed to medical advice.
If your advice is used in the book, your name will be published in the book and your name and tip could also be used to promote the book on TV, in newspapers, online, and in other marketing materials.
So it’s important that if you submit a tip you’re happy for your first name to be used alongside it.
Share your top tips at www.diabetes.org.uk/top-tips, by 7 August.
