A Word from the Authors…

Student Transition PlannerI am very excited for everyone to be able to access the DHF Student Transition Planner! I wish I had something like this when I was first diagnosed, as well as later in my education. This guide answers so many questions that I had, and others that I never knew to ask. We hope you enjoy the planner!

Student Transition PlannerThis planner is created by folks living with diabetes for people who also have diabetes. We wanted to put all this wonderful knowledge in one place instead of scrolling through countless posts or rummaging through that drawer of miscellaneous papers. Welcome to a “one-stop shop” to help make the transition to post-secondary life more manageable!

Ravjot Samra, Author
