Starting secondary school can be exciting but also scary, and if you have Type 1 diabetes, there are a whole lot of other challenges to take into consideration…
This animation explores issues that are sometimes faced by young people with Type 1 diabetes as they enter secondary school. Produced by young researchers and narrated by talented voiceover artist Raqiyah Amira Francis, it takes a look at some of the challenges faced by those living with Type 1 diabetes and debunks the common myths teachers and peers associate with the condition.
Freya is a PhD student from the King’s College London. As part of a co-design project, she has worked closely with young people in years 7 and 8 to find out about their first-hand experiences of living with Type 1 diabetes as they entered secondary school. The aim is to help schools, healthcare services and peers get a better understanding of the issues, and to highlight what can be done to make the transition to secondary school easier for young people with Type 1 diabetes.
