A/Prof Gary Kilov still has his insulin pump from the 1980s. I remember being threatened with one of those as a teenager 😅 My attitude has changed #t1d @JDRFaus #progress #JDRFSummit

“We screen people for diseases that are a lot less common than #type1diabetes. I think now is the time to start screening the general population since now we can do something about it.” - Dr. Kevan Herold, of Yale #jdrfsummit #type1nation

People have trouble understanding this about #type1diabetes. If I say my blood sugar is too high or too low, people will often ask “what happened??” Well, I don’t always know but probably it’s a few of those 42 things! #JDRFSummit

Still in the US, 70% of people with #type1diabetes aren’t using continuous glucose monitoring, “the most important tool for #diabetes since the discovery of #insulin.” - @asbrown1 at #JDRFSummit

As many times as I’ve heard this explained, it still makes no sense. #JDRFSummit #Insulin #DrugPrices #DrugCost

Issue touched on briefly at adult breakout session at #JDRFSummit but definitely needs more attention: #Aging with #Type1Diabetes. Now that we’re fortunate enough for this to be a thing, we need better preparation for elder care. Nursing homes aren’t ready, nor are all families.

Even in top #diabetes treatment centers, 70%-85% of people with #Type1Diabetes aren’t meeting glucose control targets. “It’s just too hard.” - Andrew Rakeman, PhD at #JDRFSummit, discussing @JDRF efforts to develop automated insulin-delivery technology

I cannot tell you the respect I have for these smiley kids (some as young as 6 years old) who are living with type one diabetes. Being diagnosed myself at age 13, I can’t even imagine. Their bravery is inspiring. #JDRFsummit @JDRFCentralPA
