"When I got diagnosed, it was pretty scary because I thought I couldn't get better." - Nuphon

Nuphon, a young football enthusiast from Cambodia, shared his journey of embracing life with Type 1 Diabetes. Despite the initial fear, he finds strength in managing hypoglycaemia with determination and quick interventions.

Managing hypoglycaemia posed challenges for Nuphon, who relied on quick interventions such as drinking Coca-Cola to stabilise his blood sugar levels. Nevertheless, with his mother's unwavering support, he faced each hurdle with resolve and optimism.

Nuphon's mother, Chanda, shared her perspective on supporting her son through his diabetes journey. "I was so scared, hopeless, and stressed out when Nuphon was diagnosed so young," she recalled. "I took care of everything for him, like giving him insulin shots and healthy meals like fruits and veggies."

Chanda emphasised the importance of education and proactive care in ensuring Nuphon's well-being. "Giving insulin shots regularly and making sure kids eat well are very important," she said. "To other parents, please have faith in medical care."

Nuphon's journey exemplified courage and resilience, serving as an inspiration to others living with Type 1 Diabetes. Through acceptance and support, he embraced life's challenges with determination and positivity.
