What's Your Diagnosis Story?

Learning that you have a chronic illness like diabetes can be challenging in many ways. A diagnosis can often leave you wondering, "What's next?" and can lead to both physical and emotional challenges and hurdles. If you are having a hard time, you are not alone - it is not easy!

Whether you're recently been diagnosed or have been managing your type 2 diabetes for a while, we want to hear from you.

What do you remember about your diagnosis? Was it a surprise? What did your doctor tell you or what do you wish they had told you? How has life changed since your diagnosis?
