**About Myself**

I am a 25-year-old young lady living independently in the Merthyr Tydfil area.

I am a wheelchair user(electric) and use a hoist transfer due to mobility issues.

I have excellent cognitive abilities and can voice my own wishes and views.

In 2019 I was diagnosed with Diabetes I am insulin dependent and use a Libre scanner to test my sugar levels. This remains very unstable at present and requires close monitoring.

Additionally, I suffer with anxiety, which has resulted in feelings of being isolated at home due to fear of going out. I can be very anxious when accessing public places. I may require some emotional support and reassurance when I experience increased anxiety or low mood.

Besides my disabilities, what matters to me is having an opportunity to live a fulfilled life with as much independence as possible.

I require support to monitor my Insulin levels, administer & dispose of the injections safely.

**Likes**

I would like to carry out her own grocery shopping at the supermarket and also to go out shopping for clothes & items for my home.

I would like my P.A's to be able to support me to access more social & leisure opportunities that help to promote my social networks.

I am quite a sociable person, but I need support to build my confidence in social situations.

I have become very isolated over the last year and I am concerned that this could impact on my confidence and mental health.
