Letter to the editor: Young diabetes patient praises Sen. Collins

This month, I was joined by 160 kids like me, who live with type 1 diabetes (T1D) for the JDRF Children’s Congress. We went to Washington, D.C., to ask Congress to fund the Special Diabetes Program (SDP) for T1D research. I was diagnosed when I was almost 2 years old. I’m 9 years old now, […]
