Blue Balloon Campaign
Living with type 1 diabetes is like doing everything you do in your daily life, while keeping a balloon in the air. It's a constant balancing act.
This year, we're partnering with Breakthrough T1D, previously JDRF, and with dedoc as our community partner, to shine a light on the hidden champions around those living with type 1 diabetes. They are the ones who provide support, who step in to help keep the Blue Balloon floating when doctors and nurses aren't around. They are the partners, the loved ones who make the burden of diabetes a shared load rather than a solitary journey.
Help us amplify the story of those living with type 1 diabetes! Share the Blue Balloon video on social media using the hashtag #BlueBalloonChallenge , or to be in sync with this year’s theme, do your #BlueBalloonChallenge with your diabetes partner.
Together let’s help make the invisible, visible.
It’s called MiniMed™ 780G and it has improved my quality of life tremendously.
