Influential diabetic encourages others and tells them they are not alone in educational video

In the midst of the viral outbreak of Covid-19, diabetics are among those most at risk. Lurina Fourie made an influential video to educate and inspire her fellow diabetics and let them know they are not alone.

Lurina Fourie was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetics at the age of 16. She has been living with it since 2000.

She decided to create this light-hearted and educational video for the families, friends and co-workers of people living with Type 1. The aim of the video is to spread knowledge and awareness regarding this type of diabetes in a fact-filled, fun way.

She encouraged people to show it at schools, workplaces, and even while socialising with their friends and family members so that everyone can become a part of the change in how the world responds to Type 1 diabetes.

Fourie is usually behind the camera, but decided to push her personal boundaries by featuring in front of the camera so she can help make a difference and encourage others to do so too.

With a lot of planning, research, scriptwriting, scene plotting, shooting and editing this exceptional, inspirational and educational video came together.

Fourie put a lot of hard work into this with the hope that it would be shared widely and she could make a difference in the lives of all people.
