These warning signs should be in every doctor's office. Ask for a blood glucose check. Just One Stick can save a life. @JDRFAdvocacy @RightCareNow@DiabetesMine @JDRF @JDRFAlabama@BeyondType1 https://t.co/Ej13Rp2VVm
Just today's reminder that in 2018 in America I pay $296 for a bottle of insulin I paid $20 for 20 years ago. That's about $10,000 a year to stay alive. #diabetes
Reegan Oxendine would have been 6 years old today. @beyondtype1 visited Robeson County, North Carolina to investigate the causes of Reegan’s preventable death. Told through text, photos and video, “Previously Healthy” is her story. https://t.co/iEG17jG3xm #previouslyhealthy
Elizabeth is her brother Chris's biggest cheerleader. From the age of 8 she said, "I've got this." Even the first day we brought Chris home and filled the kitchen table with syringes and vials and supplies. #NationalSiblingsDay#wearetypeone#T1D#family
This is #T1D. This is my son. 10 yrs strong. MBA student. Podcast editor. Advocate. Our prayer is not one more...misdiagnosed. Not diagnosed or in DKA. Know the signs. #JustOneStick can save a life. @BeyondType1 @JDRF @DiabetesMine@aaronjkowalski @JDRFAdvocacy
For #T1D insulin is life. Even a 3 yr old understands this. Its not lifestyle or diet. It's not a choice. There's no known cause. No way to prevent it. And no cure. Spread awareness not stereotypes. Know the signs. Save a life. #typeonediabetes @JDRF #Insulin4all @JDRFAdvocacy
@MichelleLeAnn77 I am so sorry.😔Grateful your husband got the correct diagnosis. Even drs miss it. Hoping we can help raise awareness for early diagnosis as well as continuing to advocate for a cure!!
@MichelleLeAnn77 Absolutely! Screening for all. This is just the first pilot. We believe blood glucose checks should be done at well check ups and sick visits. #T1D mimics so many other illnesses at any age. Had a friends 22 yr old misdiagnosed bc of age.
“DKA hospitalization rates increased 54.9% from 2009 to 2014.” The price of insulin rose 125%, from $100 a vial to $225 a vial, during this time period. #Insulin4all https://t.co/TZbFpFtm0a
17 yr old sweet girl at our high school just diagnosed. Hospital sent her home after noting high BS-to see pediatrician. A mother's heart knew and took her to Children's. Her symptoms-Stomach ache/vomiting. #T1D#JustOneStick. #screeningforall#beyondtype1#diabetes https://t.co/EKuSZQnWjH
This is VERY exciting! I envision a day when screening for autoimmunity in reference to type 1 diabetes will be the norm for the general population. That is the ultimate goal. The ASK pilot program in Colorado screens for both T1D and Celiac disease in children 2 to 17 years old. https://t.co/ZiOMpSVs6C

Thank you @halleberry for spreading awareness! Early diagnosis is key. #JustOneStick. Just One finger stick can save a life. It saved my sons. Know the symptoms. #T1D. Extreme thirst. Excessive urination. Fatigue. Irritability. Rapid weight loss. #JDRF#type1diabetes
This is Type One. My son was diagnosed at 13. A friend's son diagnosed incorrectly at 22 but is T1D. Another at 3. Another at 13. Know the symptoms. Ask for a blood glucose check. #JustOneStick. Just one finger stick can save a life. @BeyondType1#T1D#t1dlookslikeme https://t.co/uDwhQ0h7wZ
Sometimes you can do everything right and it still goes wrong. Everything affects blood sugar. Stress, exercise, illness... know the symptoms of a low blood sugar. #JustOneStick#diabetes#T1D#BeyondType1#Dexcom#insulin
