Hi! 

My name is Elli and I am going to be a #TypeOnesie for a day on 14th November. I was diagnosed with Type 1 in 2002, and have been on an insulin pump since 2004 and glucose sensors since 2009. Type 1 has had a massive impact on my life, though it hasn't stopped me from doing everything my friends have done..! I want to show people how my diabetes affects me every day, and to do this I am running a "Diabetic for a Day" event on World Diabetes Day. Anyone can join in! I want people to be able to see my "invisible disability" and appreciate how much organisation and thought has to go into every day. 

JDRF is involved in and supports so much research into the search for a cure and ways to make Type 1 more bearable and easier to control, and I want to have a way to support that.

If you're interested in the "Diabetic for a Day" challenge, please contact me! 

Elli :)
