Type 1 Diabetes
Matters to me.
As a T1D parent, I’m grateful for reliable health insurance, supportive friends & family, and medical staff to care for my son’s disease in the best possible way. I really am. But life with type 1 diabetes is no walk in the park. Public awareness & education are vital to finding a cure. So please, have a quick read and share with those you love! Your support is a beautiful thing. ♥ Amanda
