• Spread the T1D Love on Social Media! This month, in honor of Valentine’s day, we would like to celebrate the people who showed you love and helped you or your loved one get through the first weeks/months of your T1D diagnosis. We will recognize as many stories as we can through the end of the month. To recognize your T1D hero, see below:
  • Email us at georgiasouthcarolina@jdrf.org with the subject line “Spread the T1D Love.”
  • Include a picture of your T1D hero
  • Share 3-5 sentences about your T1D connection & how this person showed you love during the first stages of your diagnosis!
