Who Do You Love?


 2016-01-04


“Who Do You Love?” is back! During the month of February, our #LiveBeyond Instagram campaign will transform to feature type 1s alongside the people we love.

A best friend or family member, your doctor or school nurse, a scientist working for a cure. Who helps care for you? Who makes your journey with type 1 just a bit easier? Who lightens your load, keeps you healthy, watches over you at night—you have until January 20 to tell us: Who Do You Love?
