Millie Gibson

Wellness Walk London Bridges

I want to raise awareness and vital funds for Diabetes UK. Let’s beat it together💙

I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when I was 4 years old. It's been an eventful journey so far with a few hospital stays lots of tears and frustration. But I have also learned a lot about myself and had lots of personal victories along the way.

When I was diagnosed 14 years ago, I had finger pricks every time I needed to check my levels and injections with every meal and each time my levels were high. Thanks to research and advances in technology I now have a closed loop system, my own artificial pancreas. Thanks to a sensor on my arm I no longer need regular finger pricks to check my levels and my pump provides a continuous delivery of insulin. I now get an alert on my phone if I am heading high or low so I can act quickly to correct. 

Living with diabetes may have become easier over the years but the physical and emotional demands are sometimes overwhelming and exhausting and I am very grateful for all the support I get. 

By sponsoring me you will be providing much needed funding to allow Diabetes UK to continue ground breaking research and continue to improve the lives of and support those who are affected. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. 

If you are able, please sponsor me. Every penny is very much appreciated 🙏

Together, we can walk towards a world where diabetes can do no harm. 💙💙🧡💙

Thank you so much to all who have supported me. We have smashed £1,000 👏👏
It’s not too late to add a few pennies, would be lovely to round up a little more🙏💙
I’m so very grateful for the support, it means the world to know you all want to help me to support Diabetes UK. 
Maybe one day we will find a cure, but until then each small breakthrough improves the lives for so many people who are affected by diabetes. 
Thank you all so much 💙💙🧡💙
