The Sugar Shufflers

One Walk Hobart 2025

Wow!!!!! And a peak into T1D life!

We have now raised over $6000! This is just unbelievable! Thank you so much to everyone who has shared and donated to our team. 
We are now the highest fundraising team in Australia! 

For those who may not have experienced someone with type 1 diabetes, here’s a little look into an hour of our life. Tonight, after a carb counted dinner, Issy and I decided to go on a bike ride/walk. This isn’t something that can just happen spontaneously without some planning. First review of her blood sugar, it’s 12, that should give us enough to sustain our ride without her dropping. I pack some lollies in my pocket in case. We go on our ride, stopping to check her pump and levels as we go. We get home and her blood sugar has dropped, it’s now 5 and dropping quickly. By the time we get in the door and ready for a shower, she’s at 3.6 and continuing to drop, now it’s time for a lolly and some juice, thankfully after that her blood sugar came back up and stabilised . Type 1 diabetes is like playing a game of keepy-uppy (for those bluey fans out there!), the balloon is Issy’s blood sugar levels and you are constantly trying to keep them from hitting the floor or going too high. This is something that goes on 24/7, there’s no reprieve.

Thank you again for your ongoing support! 


Thank you!!!

Thank you to all who have donated so far! We never thought we could achieve what we have done, to raise our goal twice in one day!

Isabelle often talks about a cure for T1D and we tell her about the wonderful organisations and researchers that a continuously working to advance the treatments and management of T1D. Thank you for supporting this ongoing work!

We're walking in Hobart to turn type one into type none!

We're joining the world's largest walk for a future without type 1 diabetes (T1D) at Simmons Park on Saturday 15 March 2025!

Why? To help fund life-changing research aimed at improving lives and curing T1D. 

Type 1 diabetes can strike anyone at any time, and 8 Australians are diagnosed every day. Diagnosis means a 24/7 fight with no break and facing an extra 180 decisions a day to remain safe and healthy. 

Please support our walk today.
