Why It's Important:
Did you know that more than 80% of people diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) have no family history of the disease? And if you have a parent, sibling, or child with T1D, your risk increases by 15 times! Early screening can reduce the risk of serious T1D complications by 50%.
Learn how you can join this mission!
Thanks, and see you in Atlanta!
The Beyond Type 1 Team 💛
