You can help turn Type 1 into Type NONE!
As you may know, I have type 1 diabetes (T1D) and have lived with this disease for over 25 years. While there have been many changes over the years in medication and technology, I cannot live without taking insulin every day for the rest of my life... until there is a cure.
Diabetes is not a death sentence, but it is a lot of work to survive. Anytime I eat, exercise, get stressed, get sick, or even get excited, my blood sugars are affected. Nothing I DID caused me to get diabetes, and the only thing I can DO is take insulin and manage my blood sugars as best I can. You may have other friends or family with diabetes and know the impact it has on them and those around them. And YOU have the power to help make a difference.
The 2018 Promise Ball is on Friday, April 6, 2018 at the Mayo Hotel in Tulsa, OK. The event raises funds to support JDRF's mission to FIND a Cure for T1D. It is a fun, elegant, exciting evening, and I would love to see you there! But if you are not able to attend, you can still help! Through your support, you can help fund life-changing breakthroughs in the treatment and cure of this disease, making a difference for all of us living with diabetes. Won't you join me here or at the event to help FUND a cure for T1D?
Thank you for your support! ~Erin
