Living With Diabetes, It's like...

Living with diabetes is a constant balancing act.

It's like doing everything in your daily life while keeping a balloon in the air.

The blue balloon is a powerful metaphor for the daily struggles that those living with diabetes go through.

Join us and become part of the Blue Balloon Campaign!

This year, we’re partnering with Breakthrough T1D, previously JDRF, to shine a light on the hidden champions around us. They are the ones who provide support, who step in to help keep the Blue Balloon floating when doctors and nurses aren’t around. They are the partners, the loved ones who make the burden of diabetes a shared load rather than a solitary journey.

Help us amplify the story of those living with type 1 diabetes and add your voice to the Blue Balloon Campaign by taking up the challenge! Either share the Blue Balloon video on social media using the campaign hashtag #BlueBalloonChallenge, or to be in sync with this year’s theme, do your #BlueBalloonChallenge with a partner.

Together, let’s help make the invisible, visible.
