Every year tens of thousands of Australians are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It can be overwhelming. There is so much to learn. Sometimes you don’t feel any different. It can be hard to find the time. Many people don’t know where to turn. “If I have known…” is a campaign featuring real stories from real people sharing what they wished they’d known when they were first diagnosed.
