The poster presents a personal journey of living with type 2 diabetes using red footprint stickers, glitter arrows, handwritten reflections, and stick figures. The notes describe feelings of uncertainty, being judged for eating habits, and people believing the condition was self-inflicted. Other handwritten text explains staying active and not letting diabetes stop daily life. Cut-out figures representing family members stand together beside notes explaining that parents provided support with everything at home and in public places. Emoji faces and stars are placed around the poster to reflect different emotions and experiences.
