Love + Diabetes
To all of the amazing partners out there that support their loved one with diabetes, thank you. These love stories are for you.
Diabetes (type 1 or type 2) is a demanding, fickle, pain in a** disease, so when we have someone to share it with, it can make the world of difference. This Valentine’s Day, Beyond Type 1 has the pleasure of passing on these type 1 diabetes (T1D) love stories, tales of how these significant others continue to support each other. Through highs and lows—and all the candy in between—love has made them stronger.
