We still don’t know what causes this autoimmune disease, all we know is that diagnoses are increasing.At times serious, often light-hearted and always colourful, Diabetes by Design is a collection of graphic posters and installations to raise awareness and dispel misconceptions surrounding T1D.Award-winning designer, Alex Durussel-Baker was diagnosed at 30 while on a work trip. Having not recognised the symptoms and one step away from a coma, she was very fortunate to receive medical care just in time. However, one in four unaware sufferers will be in a critical state by the time they are diagnosed. For some, the diagnosis will come too late.As part of November’s international diabetes month, this exhibition aims to inform, inspire and ignite new conversations around this often misunderstood disease – redefining what it means to live and thrive with a chronic condition.The full collection of posters can be found on instagram @diabetesbydesign &amp; <a href="https://www.diabetesbydesign.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">diabetesbydesign.org</a>
