TikTok

Contrary to popular belief, TikTok isn't just for lip syncing and trendy dances. Users all over the world are sharing important messages in a digestible way and the world is listening. The diabetes community finally has a place to share life as a CGM wearing, finger pricking, blood sugar monitoring, type one superhero. And, we're here for it.

We picked these 10 influencers because we love how they show off their insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors with fun tapes, witty videos and unapologetically real life.

Follow us and let's bring awareness to #diabetes together!
