The Challenge
Type-1 is a lifelong chronic condition, usually diagnosed at a young age between 0-14 years and amongst young adults.
It is a condition where pancreas fails to produce insulin that is responsible for breaking down glucose in our body that gives us energy.
Insulin plays a significant role and since our body cannot function without it, insulin needs to be injected externally for survival up to 6-7 times in a day.
Since their childhood people with T1D prick themselves multiple times every day, sometimes to give themselves insulin or to check the sugar levels.
There are over 1.1 million children & adolescents that live with Type 1 diabetes globally.
