What is T1D? (jpgs)
David Mina, Lauren Burke and myself collaborated on this amazing highlight series, aimed to educate people about the basics of T1D.

Here is a link to the google photos album with all of the jpg files for you to download and share in your instagram highlights or any other format you would like to.
