Since we launched our film ‘What a cure feels like’, over one million people have watched, shared, and opened up about the relentless challenges of life with T1D.
This #WorldDiabetesDay we want to celebrate the strength and resilience of the T1D community and say thank you to everyone who has supported our film so far.
Together, we will continue to raise awareness of T1D 💙
