I have experience in living in Germany and Belgium and you pay a considerable amount of taxes for your health insurance. It is also true, that things like a pump or a CGM are hard to come by if your diabetes…"

- Hi all,
I have bee diagnosed with Type 1 in November 2001 after a long journey of clear symptoms, but neither me or my family nor a specialist doctor I went to because of my dry mouth, ever thought about diabetes. I actually had no glue of what diabetes was back then. When I finally got diagnosed by my gp, I was immediately transferred to the hospital where i spent one week getting introduced to insulin etc and another week of going there for a course of how to manage my diabetes. After that and for the first years I mainly lived with it without having contact with other people with type 1. However, I never tried to hide my diabetes and so far it, luckily, has not prevented me from doing anything. After some years and well into my studies of economics I eventually joined a group of other people with type 1 and also focused in my studies of economics on the economic impact of diabetes especially in developing countries and I took the decision to work in the field of diabetes if possible.
After I finished my Masters program I moved from Germany to Brussels to work as a health economist for IDF. During the recent World Diabetes Congress in Dubai I met Manny of the Diabetes Hands Foundation where I first heard about TuDiabetes.
