For Supporters of the T1D Community: For this challenge, those with T1D are posting a “get to know me” and “get to know my diabetes” video. So, to build education through side-by-side comparison, the supporter group is
challenged to do a “get to know me” and “get to know why I’m participating in NDAM!” This will bring T1D knowledge outside of T1D accounts!
