AIDS patients died because people feared simply touching them would lead to infection. Families abandoned their own children to be buried in unmarked graves. Let us know where we can send the books Dennis, God forbid you read one.

Screening for Type 1 with @JDRF's T1Detect prevents DKA at diagnosis, which can permanently damage the body & brain. It lets you catch T1D early so you can enroll in trials that delay diabetes onset. It's one more thing @GingerVieira can do for her kids. beyondtype1.org/screening-my…

You can now catch type 1 diabetes months or even *years* before symptoms of the disease show up. Plus, new treatments are on the way to even delay T1D.
