The lies MUST stop. 🚫 Here are six T1D lies tha The lies MUST stop. 🚫 Here are six T1D lies that keep us up at night. 👇

1. Type 1 diabetes is caused by eating too much sugar. 🥄
According to the Mayo Clinic, the exact cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown. Risk factors for type 1 diabetes in children include family history, genetics, race, and certain viruses.

2. Insulin is a cure for type 1 diabetes. 💉
Insulin is a life-saving medication for people with type 1 diabetes, used to manage blood glucose levels, but it is not a cure for type 1 diabetes.

3. Type 1 diabetes is contagious. 🤧
No, type 1 diabetes is not contagious. It cannot be spread like a cold.

4. Type 1 diabetes can be outgrown. 😞
Next to a cure, this is every parent’s dream, but sadly, children do not outgrow type 1 diabetes.

5. Only children can get type 1 diabetes. 🙅‍♂️
Nope! According to recent data from Breakthrough T1D, approximately 353,000 adults over the age of 20 worldwide were diagnosed with T1D in 2024 alone.

6. If you have T1D, you can't do normal things. 🤔
Many people with type 1 diabetes live “normal” lives, enjoying the things they love and finding ways to make things work for them while managing this chronic illness. People with T1D are capable of living joyful, empowered, and fulfilling lives like everyone else! Mindset means everything while managing this condition.
