Let them know your thoughts re the CTN trials, lack of representation on the Diabetes Advisory Gtroup and advise them just how difficult it is with type 1 and not to put our type 1 commuity in the same category as type 2. We only have a short time to the election. We must keep on lobbying our politicians right up until election day. As I keep saying all we are asking is for a "fair go"!!

Why don't they just call it "Diabobesity Advisory Group” to prevent more type 2 diabetes in Australia? Are our members in Government not smart enough to know the difference between Type 1 and Type 2???? We need different treatments! We can not PREVENT Type 1 Diabetes at this point!!!! If we are so lucky to have a foundation that is international in our country, why don't we leverage their treatment, advocacy and research knowledge?

I live in an area that could go either way. I want my local member to know that funding type 1 diabetes research is important to me, my family and friends that vote in their area. Thanks!

Do not be put off by an impolite person hanging up on you. Keep up the lobbying. This is your right in a democratic country. Thanks to everyone involved in our lobbying. I will not rest and neither should any of you. We only have a few weeks to the Federal election. Make this time count. Remember that Politicians represent each and everyone of us.

All we are asking is for a fair go. Our children did not ask for the disease and it was through no fault of their own. I implore anyone affected by the disease to "push on" with their lobbying.
