For approximately 1.6 million Americans, food comes with heavy strings attached. These 1.6 million Americans have a condition known as Type 1 Diabetes(T1D), where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks cells that create the protein insulin, stopping its production. Insulin is crucial to taking sugar out of the bloodstream, and if not treated quickly and effectively, T1D can lead to death. Measures like an insulin pump or blood glucose monitor can make it easier to control T1D, but even with these advances and many more that modern medicine has created, less than one in three Americans are achieving target blood glucose levels. JDRF strives to improve the quality of life of individuals with T1D, prevent T1D in individuals, and fight to find a cure. Proceeds from this GoFundMe go to JDRF.
