See the Signs

#SeeTheSigns has provided me with a great way to use my experience with DKA for good! I value being able to help others identify and diagnose diabetes. #SeeTheSigns is helping to spread awareness about DKA and safely diagnose diabetes!

The #SeeTheSigns campaign has been life changing in our community. Educating schools, families and the general community and raising awareness about T1D, the message is simple enough for people to keep in their mind when at their doctor's offices.

Last year was a truly remarkable experience for us, especially for Maria Jose. We were thrilled to be able to effectively communicate and transmit our message, and to create awareness through our story. Knowing that we made a positive contribution to the community was incredibly fulfilling for us.

Educating my community about the warning signs of type 1 diabetes is part of my way of supporting and working on behalf of the diabetes community. Our voices can make a difference and save lives.

Hi! 👋 My name is Matt and as an ambassador for the #SeeTheSigns campaign I've had friends reach out to let me know they have spoken to their doctor after seeing my posts. I'm proud to know my and Beyond Type 1's efforts have made an immediate impact in my community.

I've really enjoyed getting to participate in the #SeeTheSigns program! So many people simply don't know the facts about T1D, and I love being able to do my part in educating those around me by wearing my #SeeTheSigns t-shirt and sharing on my socials. Awareness can change everything!

My grandson had all the signs and we didn't know what was wrong with him. Being able to educate others will prevent them from a traumatic diagnosis like we had. Let's save lives; we can all educate.

Why #SeeTheSigns? Our daughter was diagnosed with T1D at age 13. In the 2nd largest school district in North Dakota, she was involved in many sports, she was around others constantly, and NONE OF US knew or noticed the signs. As the Lead Ambassador for ND, I used this opportunity to raise awareness in schools, which are the communication centers for many of our rural communities.

I think the #SeeTheSigns Ambassador program is so important to show current thriving type one diabetics advocating and educating others. When I was first diagnosed, we had no idea of the symptoms, come to find out I had them all. Raising awareness through this program helps minimize the chances of a DKA diagnosis and maximize the chances of catching it early. I love being able to show other kids that you can still live your life and chase your dreams!

I know from first-hand experience how the #SeeTheSigns program can save lives! Since being an ambassador, I have had 3 close friends whose children were diagnosed before DKA because they remembered seeing my posts with the warning signs. Beyond Type 1 does an amazing job of providing all the materials we need to really get the message out to our communities.
