Starting Secondary School with Type 1 Diabetes
An animated film co-designed by an amazing group of young people from Greater London about what might be helpful for students with Type 1 diabetes in transition to secondary school.
As part of a co-design project, a group of amazing young people from Greater London produced the animated film, ‘Starting Secondary School with Type 1 Diabetes’. It’s a film about what might be helpful for students with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in transition to secondary school.
Based on their own experiences of starting secondary school with T1D, they identified a need for better T1D-awareness in schools, both among teachers and peers. They developed their ideas with Freya Brown (King’s College, London) and it communicates the key messages they want others to understand and highlights some of the issues that can be faced by young people with T1D at this time, with a focus on busting common T1D myths.
Here are some films to help support you, your colleagues and your students with type 1 diabetes in school giving an insight into how to manage sports & exercise, exams and how high and low blood glucose levels can affect the brain.
