Have you ever had a low where you needed someone else to step in?

Low blood sugar is no joke, and knowing what to do matters. If a loved one is low and conscious, give juice, soda (not diet), or glucose tabs. If they’re unconscious or too weak, use glucagon and call emergency services. These simple steps can save a life.

Did you know that 40% of adults diagnosed with T1D were initially diagnosed with T2D? And that number could be a whole lot smaller with a simple c-peptide test done at diagnosis. Spread the word and let`s lower that percentage together 🤝

Diabetes isn`t a barrier to gender-affirming care and hormone therapy. Here`s a few questions to ask if you`re looking to start a conversation with your healthcare team about transitioning while living with diabetes. Share this so someone who could use it finds it.

- How might hormone therapy change my insulin needs?
- What baseline diabetes information should we review before I start hormones?
- How often should I monitor my glucose when starting hormone therapy?
- Who will help adjust my insulin if my numbers change?
- What warning signs should I watch for after starting hormone therapy?

Reminder: Beyond Type 1 has a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech. Comments that are discriminatory, harassing, or harmful will be deleted.

Every person with diabetes deserves affordable access to insulin. The INSULIN Act is one important step to make that happen. Introduced on Wednesday, the bipartisan bill aims to cap the cost of insulin at $35 for those on private insurance.

As members of the Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition (@diabetespac) and the Diabetes Leadership Council, we support the INSULIN Act and all efforts to make insulin affordable.

We’re looking forward to continuing our work with @diabetespac this year, including bringing ambassadors to Hill Day to advocate for policies that improve the lives of people with diabetes. If you’re interested in lending your voice, sign up to become a Beyond Ambassador in our bio. Updates and info coming soon.

And if you or someone you know is struggling to afford insulin right now, find the cost-saving options available to you at getinsulin.org

Have you heard of a c-peptide test?

There are 3 stages of type 1 diabetes and a c-peptide test can help prevent misdiagnosis, refine your treatment plan, and potentially slow down the progression of T1D.

If you`ve been screened for T1D and are in Early Stage 2 T1D → Ask for a C-peptide test in the next few months, could be eligible for beta cell preservation to slow down the progression of T1D.

If you’ve recently been diagnosed with T1D (Stage 3) → Ask for a C-peptide test within 2 weeks, could be eligible for beta cell preservation to slow down the progression of T1D.

If you’ve had T1D for a year or more → discuss with your healthcare provider, could help you understand where you stand.

For more information on stages and when to see your doctor, check out our bio!

Diabetes doesn`t define your limits.

"I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2001 at 6 years old. Since then I’ve learned that managing diabetes isn’t just something that happens in the background of life, it’s something you carry with you into every moment.

Into the firehouse.
Into the gym.
And into the ring.

Last Friday I stepped into Madison Square Garden for the FDNY Battle of the Badges, proudly representing firefighters, my city, and the entire Type 1 community.

Living with T1D means constantly balancing numbers, decisions, and discipline. But it also teaches resilience, preparation, and mental toughness.

If there’s one thing I hope people take away from this moment, it’s that diabetes doesn’t define your limits. You can still chase the biggest dreams, step into biggest arenas, and live to the fullest.

This one’s for everyone living with Type 1."
