2019 has seen Life for a Child provide increased support to more young people living with #type1diabetes in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.

We could not do it without you, our donors, advocates, fundraisers and Spare a Rose. Thank You. #t1d #doc #dsma #pwd

Tushar volunteers as a snake catcher, attending to calls from residents who have spotted a snake on the loose. He is never quite sure what he will face when he answers a call, but pythons and cobras are often there to greet him! #doc #dsma #type1strong #pwd #t1dlookslikeme #t1d

With very little known on #diabetes epidemiology in children in the Maldives, #LFAC worked with the Barbara Davis Centre and the Diabetes Society of the Maldives to address this data gap. Dr. Graham Ogle and Cecile Eigenmann presented at the recent @ispad_org meeting. #T1D #NCDs

Young people living with #T1D in limited resource settings face many challenges in self-management. However, their resourcefulness and resilience, alongside that of their families and health professionals have led to local solutions. #type1diabetes #NDAM https://t.co/X4Z0P5d3d9

“The patients come through like a torrent. First, a newly-diagnosed child, so emaciated and weak, she could barely stand up.” Francine R. Kaufman, M.D. recently went to Dhaka, Bangladesh with #LFAC to help treat the local #T1D population. https://t.co/cHajhsnxbb #diabetes #pwd
