Would You Like To Share Your Story With Us?

Generally when a person is diagnosed with diabetes, it comes as quite a shock and foreshadows some significant lifestyle and dietary adjustments. Emotions such as fear, anger, disillusion, despair, despondency, depression and/or sadness may surface and may even become quite debilitating for some people.

Perhaps you have experienced this too and now successfully live with your condition. If so, we'd really love to hear from you so you can be an inspiration to others who may be going through stress and anxiety over diabetes in their life right now.

We are looking for heart warming, motivational and inspiring, TRUE stories related to your experiences with diabetes that we can share in one of our forthcoming books as well as a picture of you.

Your story should be your PERSONAL, TRUE story. Feel free to include vivid images and how you truly felt when you were first diagnosed and how you feel now.

Your Story Will Give Hope And

Inspiration To Someone Else

Remember, even though you may have come to terms with your new life situation, the person reading your story is probably still trying to deal with a major, possibly unexpected, change in their life, and they are looking to you for inspiration. Your story is extremely important to them.

Your willingness to tell your story and share your picture gives hope to others, helps them feel more connected and instils them with courage to sail into unchartered waters. They will be grateful to you for opening up to them and will undoubtedly feel better about life in general.

Your story should leave the reader with one or more of the following: goosebumps, confidence, heartfelt tears, hope, inspiration, a good belly laugh, a major AHA, or a more exalted reason to feel alive.
