Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that strikes both children and adults suddenly. It has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. There is nothing you can do to prevent it. And, at present, there is no cure. Please help create a world without T1D by visiting your local Bashas’ or Food City store during September and choose to support at checkout.
