All #PWD have different challenges that change size and disrupt the weight of balancing with everyday life and the overall health outcomes become impacted. If we can talk about these (PROs) AS WELL AS our measured health outcomes we’ll bridge gaps and improve health and QoL.

Remember these are misconceptions of people living with diabetes themselves.
