Opinion: Learn to recognize the signs of Type 1 diabetes

T1D diagnoses are happening more often, and 5 million T1D cases in the United States are projected by 2050. The time to create significant awareness is now. That’s why I’m helping with Beyond Type 1’s Warning Signs Awareness and Diabetes Education Campaign. Here in Utah, we know there’s a tremendous opportunity to educate people on the symptoms, and I’m excited the same progress is happening around the nation. Join me in educating yourself and others about the common symptoms of Type 1 diabetes and DKA, because anyone can make a difference.

Early recognition has the power to save lives. To learn more about Beyond Type 1’s Warning Signs Awareness and Diabetes Education Campaign in Utah, visit beyondtype1.org/utah-dka-campaign.
