Do you know the 4 Ts? Common symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes

Before being Diagnosed as T1D, I was experiencing all of the 4 common symptoms. Toilet (increasing urination frequency), Tired, Thinner (unexplained weight loss), Thirsty.

In hindsight it seems obvious that there was something not right with me, but at the time I failed to pick up that there was something going on. 

If you have a friend or family member who is experiencing these symptoms, please encourage them to go see their doctor immediately and get tested.

Here is photo of me in the emergency department starting an insulin infusion to treat Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA).

I'm walking in Redlands to turn type one into type none!

I'm joining the world's largest walk for a future without type 1 diabetes (T1D). Although I won't be able to attend on the day, I will be logging my steps as I walk around the Redlands leading up to the event.

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. 

In November 2023 my life was changed forever when I was told I was Type 1 Diabetic. It has been a massive adjustment learning how to live with and manage the challenges that come with the condition.

Organisations like JDRF have helped immensely. They provide support to individuals and families impacted by T1D. I personally have benefitted from the educational and support resources that JDRF has to offer.

Please support my walk today.
