A T1D hero is a strong, patient, and courageous person. They persevere through the extreme challenges of managing T1D. They work to achieve their goals, not letting T1D get in their way.
A T1D hero is the person living with T1D, their mom or dad, their brother or sister, their spouse or best friend, their doctors and nurses. Everyone impacted by T1D is a hero.
