People with type 1 diabetes are usually diagnosed when they are children, after their pancreatic beta cells stop producing insulin. This cessation has nothing to do with weight, diet, or even blood sugar fluctuations at its onset. It simply happens, and it does so for reasons unknown.

To raise awareness about type 1 diabetes, thousands of people from around the blogosphere are participating today in the Raise Your Voice campaign. It's incredibly inspiring to see so many people, from so many walks of life, banding together in efforts to help bring this lesser-known and oft-overlooked type of diabetes to the fore.

Help spread the word by telling everyone you know to Raise Their Voices, too!!!
