Grownup T1Ds: The Missing Support for Adults Living with Diabetes

from Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes · host Stacey Simms with Kelly Dawes

There's a reason we don't call it juvenile diabetes anymore. We all know you grow up and T1D doesn't go anywhere, and that you can be diagnosed at any age. But it often feels like adults are forgotten. I hope that's not the case here—but I hear it all the time in the broader community. Kelly Dawes is working to change that. She's started GrownUp T1Ds, a community built specifically for adults who've been living with type 1 for years and are finally finding connection, understanding, and support in a way they may never have had before.
