Hear from our members

Yannick, 38 years old, member of T1 Diams for 18 years

“When I was diagnosed, the situation for kids with that condition wasn’t positive. T1 Diams gave me hope that someone with diabetes could live normally. The first Diabetic Camp is my favorite memory—meeting young diabetics, sharing moments, challenges, and learning to face the disease.”

Ashna Chamoo, mother of 6 years old Araav, member of T1 Diams for 5 years

“When he saw others with diabetes, Araav felt less lonely, he knew there were other kids like him. During lockdown, T1 Diams did everything to help us out, so that I can take care of my son. Whatever trouble I have, I call T1 Diams and they’re here for me.”

Téo, 15 years old, member of T1 Diams for 13 years

“I remember when I was little, around 5 years old, T1 Diams had organized a magic show that I loved. I met a boy there and to this day we’re still friends.”

Laksha, 13 years old, member of T1 Diams for 2 years

“They made me feel like I wasn’t alone in life, that they were other people just like me.”

Hansini, 14 years old, member of T1 Diams for 2 years

“At school when I just got in, my classmates would say “oh, look at that girl, she’s a junkie”, that hurt me. Then, T1 Diams intervened in school and my classmates started to support me. Every time I get hypoglycemia, they tell the teacher so I can take some sugar.”
