My name is Ellie Huckle, I'm 22 years old and I was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes when I was 11 on June 21st 2009. I live in North London with my mum, my dad, my twin sister and our Bengal cat, Kai.
My happy place is being with my family. In my day job I'm a Programme Manager for a technology company in Central London and when I'm not talking about diabetes I'm talking about my cat, chasing sunrises and sunsets, taking photos of the moon or looking for a snack in the kitchen!
I started this blog in 2013 when I was just 15 years old, it is not only an outlet for me to rant about diabetes when I really need to get things off my chest, but it is here to educate people about Type One Diabetes and what it's like to live with it.
Hi Ellie. I am Type 1 and have had it for 18 years. I am also a teacher and want to do some film workshops with groups of up to 7 type 1 s to look at what is on the net - learn from stories and Youtube videos and then create their about three minutes long about some aspect of diabetes that they want to share. The participants will find support/fun/new skills and also learn about their diabetes without realising - what do you think?
ReplyDeletePS I love your blog and sharing - it helps others to know they are not alone...Love Deb Snow
Hello Deborah. Thank you for your comment. That sounds really amazing! and I am so glad you love my blog. It means so much. - Love Ellie Huckle.
DeleteHi Ellie!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I want to say congratulation for the great work and transparent blog, you´re a great support to the whole community.
My name is Nicole Gutensohn, and I am writing on behalf of the whole team of GlucoSentry, a new project dedicated to all those who suffer from diabetes, either directly or indirectly (due to family members and/or friends).
During the last two years, we from Gluconightwatch, have been developing a smart bracelet that, in combination with an app for IOs and Android, will perform the periodic and automated reading of glucose levels 7d/24h and also have a simple but complete alert-and alarm system.
As we have seen that you´re interested in diabetes and everything involved, you might be interested in collaborating with us, to make life for all those who live with the disease, day by day, easier. What do you think?
Please take a look at www.gluconightwatch.com and send us an email with your email address to info@gluconightwatch.com if you´d like to receive further information about the release and novelties of GlucoSentry.
This way you can see how our bracelet contributes to significantly improve the quality of life of diabetics and their families!
Thank you very much for your attention and we really hope to hear from you very soon!
Have a great afternoon! :)
