please be aware it may be true ( seeking other sources) … if your T1 drinks diet soda (specifically Dr Pepper) please be aware… regular soda was mislabeled as diet. Full sugar could be used instead of 0 sugar in diet.

Mislabeled Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar cans affect over 19,000 cases with full sugar content, creating potential health concerns for consumers with sugar restrictions.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month! We'll be sharing information throughout the month to help spread awareness. Let’s start with the basics: the signs and symptoms of Type 1 diabetes. Often, these signs can be missed or mistaken for a simple illness or even a growth spurt. Type 1 diabetes can appear at any age. Share to help raise awareness—your post could help someone recognize the signs.

Have fun tonight! Stay safe!

NOTE: with the new AI on Facebook, we need to be very careful with how you share supplies. Some posts are getting flagged and can have us shut down as a support group.

Please be cautious and don’t name them, show photos instead and maybe use symbols to help so we can still support each other with sharing but not get involved in what is not allowed.

Thank you!

Insulin shortage. Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk both have shortages. You need to use a pen form to get insulin. Contact your doctor for a new prescription.

Request for a Chilliwack, BC or surrounding Canadian area endo or adult who can help a newly diagnosed young adult who is having trouble getting support after a new diagnosis and no support after being released with ketones after a 3 day hospital stay and still having waking BG of 20. Things sound off and would appreciate someone with experience so a suggestion, Referal or anything would be appreciated.

We would like to create more awareness to help prevent DKA as 30% of newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetics are already in Diabetic KetoAcidosis which is a life threatening state due to the lack of awareness of the symptoms of type 1 diabetes. Catching the disease at an early stage can be as simple as a urine or routine blood check. This is critical before the symptoms build to a state where they become damaging to the brain, organs and ultimately can take a life.
