✔️ Fact-check: Our golfer is right! Type 1 dia ✔️ Fact-check: Our golfer is right! Type 1 diabetes mainly affects the pancreas, BUT it can also impact other organs in the body.

Type 1 diabetes can affect the heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels.

-  High blood sugar levels can increase the risk of heart disease.
-  Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels in the retina, which may lead to vision -  problems.
-  High blood sugar can also harm the kidneys, impairing their ability to filter waste from the  body.
-  Diabetes can also cause nerve damage. You might have heard of neuropathy, which can  cause tingling, pain, or numbness in the hands or feet.
-  Diabetes can even affect the digestive system, skin, and reproductive system.

So, yes! The pancreas is the primary target of type 1 diabetes, but the long-term effects can impact these other parts of the body as well.

You might be surprised to learn that several well- You might be surprised to learn that several well-known celebrities live with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), also known as type 1.5.

Here are the facts:
- Donuts are NOT the face of diabetes. They're the misconception!
- People with all types of diabetes deserve to be treated without shame or judgment. Always lead with compassion and kindness. Get to know someone first.
- Diabetes can happen to anyone at any age despite a family history.
- According to Breakthrough T1D (Formerly JDRF), 90% of all new cases have no family history!
- Diabetes doesn't have one look. It impacts different genders, races, cultures, and body types.

Let’s stop pointing at foods you think are bad for you and saying they look like diabetes. It’s not accurate. It’s not kind. And it’s fueling a dangerous misconception that leads to food shame, diabetes stigma, and other harmful stereotypes.

If you can choose to be anything, be kind. People with T1D need your allyship. 💙
