Dear Type 1

National Diabetes Awareness Month

National Diabetes Awareness Month (NDAM) is celebrated globally to increase awareness of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and the impact it has on the lives of those affected, and to underscore the continued need for research funding. Now, more than ever, we need to unite and work towards creating a world without type 1 diabetes. We invite you to join us on this journey.

If you could write a letter to type 1 diabetes, what would you say? Take a minute and share what you wish people knew about this disease by writing a letter to T1D.

Read more #deartype1 letters from the community as we show the world what living with T1D is really like.

There are easy ways you can make real change happen for the T1D community. All you need is your voice.
