Myth: You can’t eat sugar if you have type 1 diabetes.

Fact: Like anyone, it’s important to ensure you’re eating a healthy diet, but living with T1D doesn’t mean you need to cut sugar out of your diet completely. In fact, sugar is essential in correcting low blood sugars.

People living with T1D 20 years ago saw major improvements in care. The 1st fast-acting and long-acting insulin were introduced and glucose meters gave faster readings. These advancements allowed for more flexibility in managing T1D & better care overall. #ndam #t1d #powerofus
