Many videos about Type 1 Diabetes are day-in-the-life videos or show how people manage different tasks alongside everyday life. Two major creators in the Type One diabetes community talk about how they manage each day and even show some of their symptoms.
Although there is a discussion around Type 1 Diabetes and learning how to manage it, the only time something is posted about the symptoms before diagnosis is during World Diabetes Day or another significant time for diabetes.
There needs to be more everyday discussion surrounding the symptoms of Type 1, like what parents and peers should look out for. People often miss the signs, so sharing them on social media, especially on larger platforms, could help save someone’s life.
