#Type1uncut? What's that?

We figured that if people talked more about what it's REALLY like growing up with Type 1 diabetes, life would be easier for all of us. So we started #Type1uncut. We make videos about all sorts of stuff - from awkward chats about sex, to tips on dealing with over-caring parents, to rants about how badly they deal with Type 1 on TV. 

The only rule is we don't sugar-coat anything (see what we did there?). Each video starts a discussion about the things that normally get forgotten - you can check out #type1uncut on Twitter and speak your mind on one of our Google Hangouts. We're always looking for more people to make videos too... show us what you've got, YouTube! Email us at type1uncut@diabetes.org.uk to find out how to get involved.
