World diabetes day!! Hugs aren’t the only thing connecting campers, AYUDA, and Aprendiendo A Vivir here. Today and everyday, we celebrate the warriors who not only learn to live with their diabetes, but flourish with the condition. We hope this day is not only a reminder of the strength and courage of those part of the diabetes community, but also a promise to uphold our mission - educate, empower, and uplift people who live with type 1 all around the world. Happy world diabetes day!
