Liz Walsh has been living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) for 33 years. The research and access work supported by Breakthrough T1D has allowed her to live a life she did not think was possible at the time of her diagnosis. T1D technology, such as the insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor (CGM), has empowered her to live more confidently and courageously, including navigating pregnancy with T1D.
Liz’s son, Julian, is her proudest accomplishment. Thanks to advancements in T1D treatment and care, she had a complication-free pregnancy, went full-term, and both she and Julian were healthy the entire time.
My hope is that we can create a world where no child or parent has to experience life with type 1 diabetes.”
Widespread awareness brings us closer to advancing breakthroughs to cure, prevent, and treat type 1 diabetes (T1D) until it is a condition of the past. Visit our Diabetes Awareness Month page to learn more about how you can get involved.
