“Over the years I’ve faced quite a few experiences around stigma. At this point in time, it feels like facing stigma is tragically a part of my condition.

“Very often, people forget that a person living with a chronic condition is usually the expert, given that they live with it every day. It makes me feel helpless sometimes that I live in a world with a condition I didn’t ask for – and yet, I’m seen as the obstacle, the problem or the inconvenience. It’s more than just an empty comment. The impact can be long-lasting.

“Comments, looks, stares and unfair treatment can build up like unpaid bills. They can very easily become too much and can be so hard for someone who already has an uphill battle with their mental health, like me. This is where I dive into my poetry. It’s very personal to me.

“For others in a similar situation to me, I’d say try and be kind to yourself because the world won’t give you that time to stop. Give yourself that time and care and do not be dismissive of the importance of community and charities that are there to help you. I only wish I’d been involved with Diabetes UK sooner.”

Mya is part of our Together Type 1 community, our collective of young people aged 11 to 25 living with type 1, who understand what it’s really like juggling the ups and downs of life with diabetes. We couldn’t be prouder to have her on the team!

It was lovely to have Anne and Maddie from Language Line deliver the Trauma Informed Care cards to our Gynaecology Outpatients Department in different languages, helping those patients who have experienced sexual trauma to discreetly show to health staff, to indicate they have experienced trauma and may benefit from small adjustments in care.

As part of the pilot language line have been working with our teams to help us to translate and make available the cards in the following languages:

• Arabic
• Kurdish Sorani
• Romanian
• Tigrinya
• Farsi

Thank you Languageline Solutions UK 💙
