YDA x Child先 Talks: Living with Childhood Diabetes

We were honoured to be invited to join Dr Antony Fu and Dr Bill Chan from The Hong Kong Paediatric Society (HKPS) on Child先Talks YouTube Live session titled “Living with Childhood Diabetes.” The discussion gave us a valuable platform to explain how Youth Diabetes Action (YDA) began, share lived experiences and highlight the everyday challenges that parents and children face when managing Type 1 diabetes.

A key focus of the conversation was access to continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). We discussed how CGMs can significantly improve quality of life and clinical outcomes for young people — and why affordability and equitable access must be central to public-health policy.

We are grateful to Dr Fu and Dr Chan from the HKPS for hosting this important conversation. We hope this broadcast helps raise awareness and drives momentum toward policy change that places people’s needs at the centre of diabetes care.
