INSULIN is a hormone made by the pancreas that helps cells absorb glucose to create energy, a vital process for the body to function. For warriors, insulin is about survival, as we need it administered externally to stay alive! It is a basic human right and making insulin accessible is the difference between life and loss. 💙💜 #DiabetesAwarenessMonth #T1DAfrica #SNF #T1D #Type1Diabetes #TypeOneNation #T1DWarriors #501c3 #NonProfitOrganization

THE HERO HORMONE! Insulin is a hormone that helps cells absorb glucose to create energy, a vital process for the body to function. For warriors, insulin is about survival, as we need this hero hormone administered externally to stay alive! It is a basic human right and making insulin accessible is the difference between life and loss. 💙💜 #DiabetesAwarenessMonth #T1DAfrica #SNF #T1D #Type1Diabetes #TypeOneNation #T1DWarriors #501c3 #NonProfitOrganization

WHAT IS TYPE 1 DIABETES. Type 1 diabetes is a condition where the pancreas simply does not make insulin as the immune system mistakenly attacked the cells that produce it, through no fault of anyone's and it is most certainly not a curse (tell those village leaders!). This autoimmune condition means, as warriors, we need external insulin so glucose does not build up in the blood instead of fueling cells. It also means we as warriors need to monitor blood sugar as frequently as possible! Tell a friend to tell a friend! 💙💜#DiabetesAwarenessMonth #T1DAfrica #SNF #T1D #Type1Diabetes #TypeOneNation #T1DWarriors #501c3 #NonProfitOrganization
