“Back when I was diagnosed, the situation for kids suffering from that condition wasn’t so positive. T1 Diams brought me hope that someone with diabetes can live like everyone and even achieve greatness given the ideal circumstances. The first Diabetic Camp is my favorite memory with the association. Meeting other young diabetics, sharing moments and challenges with them, taught me how to better face the disease.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”
