Diabetes Awareness Month | November 2021

#FuelingTheFuture

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. It's a time to celebrate how far we've come in the fight against diabetes — and a time to look forward to the achievements still to come. This year, as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin, it’s more important than ever to recognize the relentless dedication and selfless collaboration of our scientists, caregivers, patients and supporters. From research to care, education and advocacy, Joslin Diabetes Center is fueling the future and bringing us closer to a cure we’ve all been striving for.

They are fueling the future with passion, inspiration and relentless dedication to help create a world without diabetes.

After being diagnosed as a young adult, Sydney came to Joslin and met with her care team, who immediately made her feel welcomed and supported.

“They walked me through my diagnosis in a way that was appropriate for my age. I learned how to do it myself and take care of myself. The Joslin team has helped me in so many ways. They have found a way to work with me to make my needs work.

Joslin has changed my life and has allowed me to see what I once could not always see, and that is hope, resilience and balance.”

Leigh and her husband, David, held a Spin for Joslin event in March of 2021 in recognition of their two-year relationship with Joslin and to thank our faculty and staff for the support they have received for their son.

“I can’t imagine navigating type one diabetes without Joslin. To have a partner in the journey is a game changer. I feel supported. They have our interest at heart both long and short term.“

“They taught me that not only could I keep running, but I also could prove to others living with diabetes that a normal life is possible as long as we make the right adjustments and utilize their resources and guidance.

I am living life with the comfort of knowing I am getting the best care in the world and where in the same building researchers and doctors are striving to find a cure for this disease.

Joslin is a very special place and a resource I rely on every day.”
