Although most people are typically diagnosed as children, Type 1 diabetes affects those in all age ranges. To stay alive, those with Type 1 diabetes must take six or more insulin injections daily. In addition, there are many challenging roadblocks preventing Type 1 diabetics from living a normal life. Many struggle to obtain basic medication and medical attention needed to live a healthy life. Even if they are able to maintain a healthy lifestyle, their life will be cut shorter by at least ten years. Because diabetes is a chronic, incurable disease that affects nearly every part of the body, contributes to other serious diseases, and can be life threatening, it must be managed under the care of a physician throughout a patient's life. In addition, there is an onslaught of diabetes-related health risks: glaucoma, eye disease, loss of eyesight, stomach nerve damage, kidney disease, weakened immune system function, poor circulation leading to possible amputation, increased risk of gum disease and stroke, high-blood pressure, heart attack, etc.
By supporting T1DA’s mission, you will be helping to alleviate these roadblocks.
