Q: Do you wait for another tragedy to happen before you share the T1D warning signs posters? Or do you share the posters hoping that you can prevent a tragedy? A: My answer is simple. I’m NOT waiting! I’m trying to prevent more needless tragedies. Share a poster and save a life!
Hoping my son's story reminds people how important it is to continue to remind everyone - schools, pediatricians, nurses, friends and family about the signs of T1D - especially during a pandemic!
There is never a good time to be diagnosed with diabetes, especially if the country is in the middle of a flu pandemic.

It’s so important to know the early warning signs of T1D. I didn’t and almost lost my son. No one educates you on this when you have your child. Please retweet & share this poster. T1D equally is diagnosed in children & adults #T1DWarningSigns@BeyondType1
