Tell Me So I Can Understand

If you ever need to explain your Type 1 Diabetes in 30 seconds, start here.

“I have type 1 diabetes. My pancreas doesn’t make insulin, so I take insulin every day — injections or pump — and I check my blood sugar all the time. I wanted you to know because if I look pale, sweaty, confused, or unconscious, that’s likely low blood sugar — please give me juice or candy fast, or if I’m unresponsive, glucagon if you have it, and call 911.”

Click any module to open it. Each opens on the Knowledge Check — that’s your pretest. Taking it unlocks Learn It; reading each tab unlocks the next; finish by retaking the same check to measure your growth.
