On Saturday, the founder of Type Fun Diabetes will host an informal catch-up for people living with the disease at Launceston’s Bryher cafe.
Mr Egan said he hoped to remove the stigma associated with diabetes by “starting a conversation”.
“I started Type Fun because I grew up as the only kid in my town living with type 1 diabetes,” he said.
“We really want to bring the type 1 community together and gauge what they want from Type Fun going forward. Whether that is more social events, more education – hopefully it will become an ongoing series of regular meet-ups.”
Saturday’s free meeting will take place from 1pm to 2.30pm.

Being a health reporter to me is about more than just reporting the problems. It's about asking why they are happening in the first place and what needs to change to fix it.
