Type 1 diabetes is a condition in which your immune system destroys insulin-making cells in your pancreas.

In today's episode, we'll sort through the myths and learn the facts of type 1 diabetes—examining the science, the daily challenges faced by those living with it, and the groundbreaking advancements in treatment and technology revolutionizing how individuals manage this condition.
