Screaming this from the rooftops of Times Square #diabetesawareness

Misconceptions about diabetes are EVERYWHERE. “You can’t have sugar. You can’t play sports.”

For every person who says “you can’t,” there are a million of us who already are.

Go beyond the limits. Go beyond the labels. Go beyond what you were told. Go to @beyondtype1 for resources, community and more!

What misconceptions do you hear about diabetes? Share to smash the stigma for every type of diabetes.

Share this graphic, it can save someone's life! Did you know the warning signs of diabetes?

Every person with diabetes deserves access to the technology and care they need to survive. The DIABETES Act is one important step toward making that happen. The bipartisan bill aims to ensure Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes maintain access to the diabetes technologies and education they rely on.

As members of the Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition (@diabetespac) and the Diabetes Leadership Council, we support the DIABETES Act and all efforts to make technology and education more accessible.

Have you or someone you love experienced a gap in care when transitioning to Medicare? Have you navigated barriers to CGM or insulin pump access?

We’re looking forward to continuing our work with @diabetespac this year, including bringing ambassadors to Hill Day in Washington, D.C., in June 2026 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.

Who do you want to see in the next roundup?

if you haven’t gotten your routine check up and bloodwork done in a while, then I highly recommend to do so just to be safe. Listen to your body.

welcome to the first episode of my T1D talks with me series where we talk about the stigmas and stereotypes about living with diabetes (especially as a Filipina) while living life to the fullest!

This also helps me learn as I go while also learning from the amazing and supportive diabetic community 💙🦋

learning that my dad was also a type 1 diabetic while battling kidney cancer was eye opening for me and I can only imagine what my journey would’ve been like if he were still alive.

I’m sure I’d be asking him for so much guidance. One thing is for sure, my dad was such a fighter with a heart of gold. He always had a smile on his face no matter what.

🌱 if you’re new here, hi! Welcome to the barkada (friend group in Filipino) 🌸 my name is Clarisse and I’m a Filipino-American from Queens, NYC sharing food, culture, cozy routines, and life as a type 1 diabetic while documenting how I see the world.

follow along the journey so we can learn together 🫶🫶🫶
