According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, here in Arizona alone, one out of every nine people are diagnosed with diabetes. Throughout the United States, more than 1.25 million Americans are living with T1D, including about 200,000 youth.

This could directly impact the more than 40,000 people who will be diagnosed this year with T1D.
