Diabetes is a chronic, debilitating disease affecting every organ system. There are two major types of diabetes: type I diabetes, an autoimmune disease also known as juvenile diabetes, and type 2 diabetes, a metabolic disorder also known as adult onset diabetes. For people with type I diabetes, the pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone that enables the production of energy from food. Multiple daily injections of insulin or a continuous infusion through an insulin pump ensures only survival. It is not a cure, nor does it prevent the eventual and devastating complications of the disease.
Because it changes lives;
Because you never outgrow it;
Because it is there every minute of every day;
We need a cure.
