Living With Diabetes, It's like...

Living with diabetes is a constant balancing act.

It's like doing everything in your daily life while keeping a balloon in the air.

Medtronic launched the #BlueBalloonChallenge in 2021, to raise awareness and drive more understanding of what it’s like to live with diabetes. By taking part in the challenge, you can show support for the millions of people living with diabetes and help educate others about the effort required to manage the condition.

Joining the challenge is easy! 

1: Shoot a video or snap a photo of yourself bouncing a blue balloon in the air doing routine activities or embarking on a fun adventure -- get creative!

2: Share it on social media using the #BlueBalloonChallenge and tag @MedtronicDiabetesCanada

Every time someone performs a #BlueBalloonChallenge, Medtronic will donate $5 USD to Life for a Child organization.

About Life For a Child

In some under-resourced countries, children living with type 1 diabetes don’t have access to life-saving insulin, blood glucose test strips and diabetes education. Life for a Child partners with diabetes centers across 44 countries, including Tanzania, Mexico, and India to help young people with diabetes who have no other care available.
