A letter to diabetes.
If you could say anything to diabetes, what would you say?
A Letter to Diabetes creates a space for people around the world to put into words how they feel about their diabetes journey.
This is about everything you’ve wanted to say, but haven’t found the words.
A letter to diabetes
Throughout November, we’re inviting you to share your letter to diabetes. Whether you live with diabetes, are a caregiver, a healthcare professional, or simply love someone with diabetes, we want to hear your story.
Share it any way that feels authentic to you, through photos, audio, video, or a handwritten letter.
Stories will be reviewed before posting, and while we value every submission, not all stories will be published.
A message from Nick Jonas and our Dexcom Warriors
