Join the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) this month as they raise awareness about type 1 diabetes!
Starting in November, JDRF kicked off Diabetes Awareness Month by sharing personal stories of adversity and perseverance. They are launching a campaign to remind communities that people are not defined by their type 1 diabetes. Here is a brief list of some updated terms to use when talking about diabetes.
They have jazzed up their website so users can access fun and informative quizzes on the JDRF website to test your knowledge of type 1 diabetes.
Plus, on the site, users can also create their own “#ImTheTpye” profile to join the community and spread awareness of type 1 diabetes, like this adorable teenager in the photo. JDRF will also be taking steps to increase research funding as well as guaranteeing that all individuals have access to proper diabetes care.
Make sure to check the JDRF Website after World Diabetes Day on November 14 for more personal stories and blog posts!
