Insulin is Life – Diabetes Awareness Collection

Insulin is Life Sweater – Diabetes Awareness Collection

Delicate, heartfelt, and stitched with purpose.
This design transforms an insulin vial into a vase of wildflowers — symbolising growth, resilience, and the quiet strength behind daily life with Type 1 Diabetes.

Created for Diabetes Awareness Month (November), Insulin is Life is a deeply personal piece inspired by my daughter, who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at just six years old. Now twelve, she faces each day with courage and grace — a reminder of how powerful something so small can be. This design is for her, and for every person or family living with diabetes. 💙

To honour that journey, 10% of all sales from this design will be donated to Diabetes UK, helping to fund vital research, support, and awareness initiatives for the Type 1 community.

Perfect for those who live it, love someone who does, or want to wear their support proudly. Every sale from this collection helps raise awareness and spark conversation — because awareness saves lives.
