Get creative to show what diabetes is really like

 Diabetes is the hidden condition. Millions of us live with it, but millions more misunderstand it. That’s why we’d love you to create a piece of art that brings to life what it’s really like to live with diabetes, day in, day out. We’ll be taking the art to Parliament to inspire MPs to take action and prioritise diabetes care.
