For #WorldDiabetesDay, we’re sharing Giban’s journey.
With support, he began cooking balanced meals, being more active and taking control of his diabetes.
He no longer needs insulin and feels healthier, happier and more connected.
Top panel: An older woman and man ride bicycles outdoors, smiling and wearing helmets. The text reads: “Your diabetes will shift and change as you age,” Bottom panel: A multigenerational family sits around a table enjoying a meal together. A younger woman helps serve food to an older woman. Everyone is smiling. The text continues: “But the need for care and understanding remains the same.”
